This factory service and repair manual for the 1987 Chevrolet C60 covers a short list and covers it closely: two gasoline V8s, the 5.7L and the overhead-valve 6.0L of 366 cubic inches, plus the naturally aspirated 8.2L diesel V8 of 501 cubic inches, all in a two-door conventional cab and chassis built under the code C6D042. With three engines and one body, fuel, ignition, cooling and exhaust work can be traced without first sorting out which of a dozen variants is on the lift.
