This factory service and repair manual for the 1985 Chevrolet C60 accounts for four gasoline engines and two diesels in a single cab and chassis body sold as C6D042. The gasoline side runs from the 292-cubic-inch inline-six through the 5.7L V8 to the overhead-valve 366- and 427-cubic-inch V8s; the diesel side is the naturally aspirated 8.2L and 10.4L V8s. Because one chassis carried all six, the brake, steering and driveline sections apply throughout while the engine sections split by displacement.
