REFERENCE BOOKS (1 OF 2)
These are the published sources of information on the operation, service, and repair of my 69 C20 that I’ve obtained and used for reference. There is much more available, of course, but I think these cover just about everything you need to know to get one up and running again. eBay, amazon, and the Parts Board are all economical sources to obtain them.

1969 Chevrolet Truck Chassis Overhaul Manual, Series 10-60
Full blown descriptions and pics on major overhaul items like engines, transmissions and so on.
1969 Chevrolet Truck Owner’s and Driver’s Manual, Series 10-30
This one is an excellent source of information describing how things like locks, lights, heating and A/C, etc., should work.
Chevrolet Truck Parts Catalog for 1946-1972 Series 10 thru 30, September 1972 edition (on CD)
It takes a while to figure out how to use, but every part on your truck can be found in here somewhere. My CD doesn’t have .pdf search capability and I recommend you obtain one with the search feature so you can find stuff easier. I’ve been making up my own table of contents as I go along.

Chevrolet catalog of light trucks for the 1969 model year. Contains good information on available options and many interesting pics of brand new 1969 trucks.
Haynes Repair Manual, Chevrolet & GMC Pick-ups 1967 thru 1987, 2WD and 4WD
This book covers a lot of years but has some good info and pics not found in the GM manuals
