OK, I've gotten PM's asking about this restoration packet...or when I refer to dated GM material...well, here's the scoup.
Go out and write down your VIN (or make up an acurate one)
Call 1 800 222 1020
press 1 for english
press 4 when prompted for what department.
They will ask you your name, phone number, e-mail addy (so they can spam you probably) and your street address.
Tell them that you heard that they offer a restoration packet. They'll ask for what vehicle, and then they'll want the VIN.
Then in 6 - 8 weeks (all mine came in more like 1 to 2 weeks) you'll get a big 'ole packet in the mail. There will be a bunch of stuff that you probably won't want, but in that mess will be a bunch of photo copies of the old dealer books.

REMEMBER all this stuff do you) It took me all of 5 min on the phone.
There has been reports in the past on here, that ppl never recieved there packet. While it never happened to me personally, you could always call them and they'll get another one out to you.
Only Chevy would do this for you....heck, GMC doesn't even do it..GMC owners have to go by all the Chevy info.

You'll have to press 4 again for cutomer assistance... so now you dil the number, press 1 for english, press 4, then 4 again, and that'll get you to the person you need to speek too.
I just ordered another 72 packet since I gave my first one to Dubie last summer. This cat told me after typing my name into his computer, that I already had one for a 72... i just told him I gave it to the guy who i sold my 72 C/10 to.
yeah, sure, what ever.
