1987 Chevrolet C35 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1987 Chevrolet C35 covers two bodies rather than one, a standard cab pickup joining the cab and chassis, with the same pair of engines behind them: the 4.8L inline-six and the 5.7L V8, both overhead-valve and naturally aspirated. Base is the only trim. The extra body brings extra content, since bed mounting, rear lighting and body wiring differ from a bare frame, while the engine, driveline and brake sections apply to both.
