1967-1972 Chev/GMC Truck Factory Assembly Instruction Manual (AIM)
This manual has been heavily edited. The AIM for each of the six years had many pages removed and then all six years were combined into one volume. Important information like part numbers and title blocks have been removed, making the many cross references and tables of contents undecipherable. A true AIM would have all the information intact and be for one year only. I originally bought a brand new AIM and was extremely unhappy with it, so I returned it. I later found a used one that I bought here in the Parts Board for a lot less money.

This is a pic of a typical truck AIM page, title block and part numbers have been obliterated.

For comparison, this is a pic of an AIM page showing a similar system for a 1967 Corvette, title block and part numbers are intact.


I also bought a 1971 Service Manual several months before I bought my truck. I needed something to educate me about the mechanics of these trucks while I was searching for one to buy.
