This is an Original (not a reprint) 1947 Chevrolet Service News. that was published for Mechanics at the start of the New Model year before the regular shop manuals were sent to the dealership. This publication  was to familiarize them with the new model features so in the event of any problems, they would have some knowledge where & how to start the repair.

This 16 page booklet was published in May of 1947 prior to the full production of the Completely New Style truck. It is in Very Good condition for 68 years old. There is some wrinkling in the upper right corners where at one time, it may have got wet. I don't see any stain, only a small scuff on the "T" of Chevrolet on the cover (photo) There is a light fingerprint on lower left corner of page 4 (not greasy) No other marks, stains or tears. In addition to the new 1947 features, the following service data is also included.

·                           Truck Wiring Diagram

·                         Timing gear Alignment

·                         Government Surplus Fluid Usage          

·                         Wheel Bearing Discoloration

·                         Inlet & Exhaust Specifications

·                         Convertible Top Power System

·                         New Toe-In Specs.

·                         Identification of Rear Axle Parts (stamping #, ratios, # of teeth etc. -- all Trucks)

·                          Identification Rear Axle Shafts & Bolt specs.

Other than the wrinkling & spot previously mentioned, this booklet is nice. The photos will give you an idea of condition & content.

If you have or display a 1947 truck, you will want this. It would hard to find a nicer Original !!
