This factory service and repair manual for the 1991 Chevrolet C35 addresses a truck defined by what it leaves off: one engine, the 5.7L V8; one body, the two-door cab and chassis; one trim, Base. The interest lies below the cab. Frame, suspension, driveline and brake procedures carry the weight of the book, and each is given with the measurements a repair actually needs, the clearances, adjustment ranges, torque values and the diagnostic order in which to check them.
Engines covered
- 5.7L V8 (350 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
Body styles covered

Trims covered

Known issues on the 1991 C35. Four owner complaints were logged for this model year, landing one apiece on the power train, the service brakes and the suspension. That is a scattered record rather than a pattern, but it names the three systems a working chassis truck wears hardest. The manual treats each in full: transmission, driveshaft and axle overhaul with lubricant and clearance specifications; hydraulic brake diagnosis, bleeding and adjustment; and front and rear suspension inspection, spring and shock absorber service, and the alignment figures.
