Chassis Manual Color Wire Diagram???

Ok guys. I ordered and recieved a chassis manual. I emailed the company and asked specifically if the wiring diagram was in color. They said it WAS. I just flipped through it and don't see ANYTHING in color. Where is "said" wiring diagram that's supposed to be in color? Any page numbers or anything you guys got?

I the orignal manual, it is in the elect section, most aftermarket one are just copies of the original, and may not be colored or a bad reprint.

In the '72 manual, the diagrams are color foldouts in the front of the Chassis Electrical section. My book is an old original.

Just to add to what Lady72nRob71 wrote:

In the service manuals I have seen, only the wiring and (sometimes) transmission hydraulic diagrams are in color. Everything else is in B&W. So you will need to turn to the correct page to see any color at all.

The diagrams are sometimes even numbered differently than the rest of the chapter, so if you have a copy of the original, and if the diagrams were not included, you might not even notice any missing page numbers.

Interestingly, in my original 60s and early 70s CSMs, the basic wiring diagram is in color, but there's a separate 442 wiring diagram (with the internal regulator and rally pak) that's in B&W.
