Obs Chevy Trucks 1988-1998
During the last decade, classic Chevy trucks have seen a sharp increase in popularity among the enthusiast community. From an enthusiast's standpoint, the Task Force trucks of the 1950s and the 1967-1972 Action Line trucks are the most popular. However, the rising prices of these trucks often send budget-minded enthusiasts to the Squarebody 1973-1987 models. Now, even the Squarebody trucks are getting expensive, so enthusiasts are turning to a more modern era of classic Chevys: the Old Body Style (OBS) trucks from 1988-1998. The OBS trucks are attractive, well-rounded trucks with many creature comforts that were absent from previous generations. They are fairly affordable and plentiful, and they are new enough that well-preserved examples are attainable. In addition, they respond well to modifications. The later OBS models had LS engines in them, so swaps across the entire year span are easier. In OBS Chevy Trucks 1988-1998: How to Build & Modify, veteran Chevy truck author Kevin Whipps covers all of the modifications that you can do to improve the performance, handling, and economy of these trucks. He covers OBS history, how to find the right truck for your goals, and modifications to the various systems in the truck. Subjects that are covered include suspension, brakes, air-ride systems, engine upgrades and swaps, body and paint, interior, wheels and tires, and, finally, body drop. Whether you are planning to do the modifications yourself or you want to learn about the project before hiring a professional, this book is an essential tool for your toolbox.

How many times at a classic car show have you seen imperfections in the paint, bubbles coming from underneath, and body filler separating from the metal? In almost every instance, this is the result of poor metal preparation during the initial stages of the restoration process. In short, anyone who takes shortcuts in the metal preparation area of restoration is virtually guaranteed disappointment down the road. With this handy new guide, Joseph provides all you need to know for a successful and long-lasting restoration.
YAMAHA 250cc 1968-1971 DT1A - DT1B - DT1C - DT1S - DT1E WORKSHOP MANUAL INCLUDING MX MODELS & GYT MODIFICATIONS
122 pages and more than 250 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This workshop manual is a faithful reproduction of the original Yamaha factory 'Combined Workshop Manual' part number LIT-11612-14-99 for the DTI Series of motorcycles manufactured between 1968 and 1971.Based on our research, Yamaha published at least 7 service manuals and 3 supplements for the 1968-1971 DT1 series. However, the revised 'Combined' workshop manual LIT-11612-14-99 is considered to be the most comprehensive as it was published after the introduction of the 1971 models and it includes the MX series and GYT modifications for racing.It should be noted that the side by side landscape pages beginning with the 'DT1A (1968) Model Changes' section have been re-formatted into single pages for improved readability. In addition, the 'Motorcycle Service News' page that deals with the installation of the 'lighting choke coil' has been omitted as there were no legible versions published in any of the DT1 series of workshop manuals. However, the installation of the 'choke coil' is addressed in both the 'wiring diagrams' and the 'DT1A to DT1B Changes' sections of the 'combined' manual. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing technical publications for your classic Yamaha DT Series motorcycle as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality, comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'. In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years. While original manuals can also be sourced through on-line sellers they are normally very expensive and we are pleased to be able to offer this reasonable priced alternative.

It is applicable to the entire range of G80CS (1959-1964), G85CS (1965-1966) and P11 (1967-1969) series. Owners of these models will find this concise and focused manual invaluable. With 56 pages and 31 illustrations this manual is somewhat typical for any professional or racing motorcycle, as it assumes that owners of these models have basic maintenance knowledge and skills. As such, much of the routine maintenance procedures have been omitted which considerably reduces the number of pages required to provide adequate detailed technical information. However, G80CS and G85CS owners that require additional repair and maintenance information are directed to workshop manual ISBN 9781588502582 which includes the 1957-1966 'Matchless Heavyweight' singles and owners of the P11 will find the 'Norton 1966-1970 Lightweight & Heavyweight Twins' workshop manual ISBN 9781588502421 to be of use, as the P11 utilized an engine that was developed from the 'Norton Atlas' model and that manual includes maintenance and repair information for the 750cc 'Atlas' engine.
