Hey I'm trying to figure out what manuals/books im going to need that will prove useful when i start restoring the 69 and the 455 i bought. I have seen different ones on amazon and ebay but wasnt sure what you guys recommend. I would hate to go and spend $150 on books only to have some not have useful information.
Thanks

 

1- Chassis service manual

Optional, depending on how much you are going to do yourself:
