Manuals, info on 1977 GMC C65. Detroit Deisel 8.2

[uglytruk]

I just bought a 1977 Chevy C65 bucket truck. I won it on www.ebaymotors.com, type in item # 2489068405 for a look. had it shipped from San Francisco to upstate New York for $2000. It was pretty accurately described, except for some rust through. Unfortunately, it was damaged in transit, I'll have to take it up with the shipper. Any leads on shop manuals? It was a PG&E 2 man aerial lift manufactured by Utility Body Co of Oakland Ca. It was converted from a 427 gas to Detroit Diesel 8.2 in 1989. Title says 16080lbs, Scale says 24700 :ban Andrew

What type of manual are you looking for? Chassis, bucket body or engine?

YES and ALLISON AUTO TRASMISSION would't hurt either. Thanks

The manufacturers of each should have had manuals available, this is where I'd start. Due to the age of the truck, they may no longer have them available, but there are companies that specialize in old manuals. I'd suggest a Google search if the manufacturers can't help you.

Chilton's should have something for the truck chassis, but they usually aren't as detailed as the manufactuer manual.

Ebay has no organization at all, just "car and truck manuals". 2001 mixed with 1946, etc. I checked several pages, and emailed a few vendors, no luck. Can you tell me a bit about the 8.2?:notworthy
