1982 Chevrolet C60 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1982 Chevrolet C60 has five engines to keep straight, because a medium-duty chassis of that era was ordered to the job rather than to a spec sheet. Three burn gasoline, from the 292-cubic-inch 4.8L inline-six up through the 5.7L and the overhead-valve 6.0L V8; two are large naturally aspirated diesels of 8.2 and 10.4 liters. Three bodies were built on it, a cab and chassis, a straight truck and a tractor, under two codes.

Known issues on the 1982 C60. The federal record for the 1982 C60 is clean, with no recalls issued and no owner complaints filed. That puts the weight on the manual itself, which is how a truck of this age is usually judged now: fuel and ignition specifications for the three gasoline engines, fuel system and cooling procedures for the two large diesels, and torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostic routines for the brakes, steering, driveline and frame shared by the straight truck, the tractor and the bare chassis.
