Well, basically I'm a book and data freak so I think you can never have too
many references for the ole truck. To the previous recommendations, I would
add the following.
1) Catalogs from vendors. Relatively cheap (free usually if you buy
something cheap that you know you will need) and often a good source of
information. Among the best for information purposes (IMHO) are Chevs of the
40s and Jim Carter's.
2) The Factory Assembly Manual reprints. Though made from a 1954 original,
it has a wealth of information for all AD trucks.
3) And then a book that I first read in the 70s and just reread this month
and recommend to EVERYONE who tackles the rebirth of one of these 50 year
old, working, beasts of ours; "Truck:On Rebuilding a Word-Out Pickup and
Other Post-Technological Adventures" by John Jerome. It's out of print, but
it's worth locating a copy.
