Automotive Books

This book gave my husband information regarding his corvette he just received for Christmas and he is able to see the difference between the eras of corvettes in the mid 60's.

In 1963 Chevrolet did a major redesign of the Corvette to create what's called the C2. The C2, produced in only five years from 1963 to 1967 is a classic Corvette. This was the Sting Ray, and this is the definitive book on the car.

It is a profusely illustrated book that describes the car from every aspect: colors, options, chassis, body, engines, suspension, steering, brakes and a year-by-year sales review that covers not only the cars themselves but each of the major options. Therre is more detail here than you can imagine, such as two views of the dashboard for the 1994 'Vette showing that the red line on the tach was different depending on which engine was installed.

The C2 was indeed a classic. Today any pristine condition C2 with a good set of options will easily bring over $100,000. The C2 story ended in 1968 when the C3 took over. It wasn't significantly different, especially under the skins, but it ended the life of the C2.

This is a must have manual for the do-it-yourself who needs assistance making repairs to your vehicle. I did find at least one error where the section number did not correctly list the page number for the problem.

I bought this manual for two reasons:
First, because the owners manual didn't describe in detail what should be greased as part of the regular maintenance.
Second, at some point I'll have mechanical problems with the truck and I wanted to have this manual on-hand when that happens.

I learned a lot from this manual relating to maintenace an inspection.
What I didn't expect was the tutorial on nut and bolt grades at the beginning of the book. It made for a good read ;)

If beautiful pictures of classic Chevrolet cars is what you are looking for- this is the book for you. Every car in this photo gallery is in brand new condition. There are wonderful engine shots and full color photos of all the classic chevy models of 1955-1957. The text information is also very complete- good information on all the options and interior selections on the classic Tri-Chevys is given.

You don't have to be a 57 Chezy nut, or even own one to want this awesome book, about this colelctors car taht is so desired. Great photos and nice essays1

If you are doing any driveline mods, lifting, or off-roading this is the book for you.

I have many automotive books and this is one of my best. It goes over almost every part of my chevy in great detail. The book covers 2 and 4 wheel drive in great accuracy. I would highly reccomend this book to a 1967-present GM truck owner.

This book was the source of many certifications.. It has numbers for many styles of super sports. It also has many good dealership style promo ads in these pages. If you're not sure if your car had a particular option, go to this book.

I was impressed by the prodution figures of the various models. As well and the many other details that were provided to the reader.

everyone should read this book, if you ever plan to do the work on your own car. so the car dealers won,t rip you off!!

I fix my car often and have a few books about it, but none come close to the depth that Chiltons puts into their books. First I do have the Haynes repair guide, but it has very few pictures and does not explain in detail about how to remove some parts of your car. If you need to buy a repair manual for your car then buy Chiltons.

After looking at all the local car parts stores, I took 2 minutes to order this item here and 3 days later I had it. What more is there to say?

these chilton books are great if you are rebuildin your engine or even if you are just needing assistance fixing your vehicle.They have pretty much everything even picture diagrams. ide suggest this book if you are doing a weekend project or even a long term overhaul

I needed help with my Chevy S10 finding what was the original wiring from what belonged to the security system the previouse owner semi-uninstalled and it really helped me out.

As an owner of a 1988 GMC 3/4 ton Suburban, 350/2wd, I use this book an awful lot. This manual provides me with detailed explanations of every type of maintenance I do, plus every type of work I have had done to the truck. From lower control arms to shock mounts to leaf springs to radio wiring to heater cores to AC to tune ups to power steering pumps to headliners to window gaskets -- this book has given me the insight to tackle all these jobs successfully. It is the essential manual for my year truck. If you do your own work, you cannot go wrong -- much better than the other two Chilton manuals I have owned (84 nissan sentra, 91 saab 900).

This is a great reference for repairing or "fixing" any part of a Toyota Truck between the years of 1970 to 1986. My father gave me his Toyota 4Runner and it was in great shape. I had a liver transplant and was given a wish from "The Make a Wish Foundation". I decided to "beef" up my truck so that I would be able to drive down main street and have one of the hottest vehicles for a high school student. Make a Wish, put in a new interior, a automatic transmission (from a manual), cleaned the engine, and gave my truck a terrific paint job. When I received the truck from them, it started to have problems. I turned to my Chilton Toyota truck manual, and in less than two weeks, I had "weeded out the bugs". My friends oohed and aaahhed at my glorious vehicle.

From the chilton manual, I found troubleshooting tips, great black-and-white pictures( so you know exactly what part your looking at, and helpful safety precautions. This book also has a sixteen full color page section to help you with tuning and repairing. At the beginning, it gives you the places of where to find your vin numbers and before you begin, a checklist for the tools needed. This book probably saved my fame from becoming a total mess. Everyone including I, loved that truck. And I owe it all the "Chilton's Repair and Tune-Up Guide for Toyota Trucks 1970-1986".
