This factory service and repair manual for the 1982 GMC C3500 has to cover a work truck that left the plant in four different shapes — standard cab pickup, crew cab pickup, and cab and chassis in two-door and four-door form — with four engines available across them: the 7.4L and 5.7L gasoline V8s, the 4.8L inline-six and the 6.2L diesel V8. Base, High Sierra, Sierra Classic and Sierra Grande trims complete the range. Procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are grouped by system so a body-specific job stays easy to find.
