Joey Mack Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Thats a tall order.. usually there are several books.. Not knowing exactly what you want, maybe, ''Crash Books'' would be what you want.. You may have to look for specific books like , engine, transmission, cab,, etc: 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73481-parts-book-79-r-model/#findComment-541250 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 agree with you Jojo, don't know of a book specific to an entire truck front to back ;; not counting the drivers manual (handbook ) which is (was) in each new vehicle. and that was only a basic what switch does what etc. once again it comes down to = darn I watched management throw that stuff away. a lot of books ; parts and service. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73481-parts-book-79-r-model/#findComment-541251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I would grab as many books as i could from the trash, but missed a lot of them.. I recently pulled 3 perfect CAT engine books from the trash. I think they are 3306 books, for stationary generators.. I'm thinking about listing them for sale, so someone can use them..

hicrop10 Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 I did find one but I was thinking just what both of you have said.The price was a little high $400,I would pay that if I was sure it to be the book I want.I do have a book for my b87 that I picked up from Allvintage books.

mechohaulic Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 tag sales used to be the place for good stuff. now it's where you see people with their phones taking pictures of stuff for resale. couple of good Thrift stores here for odd stuff. did see a book by Lou Kroeck = building model trucks: there once. didn't know it was a $250.oo-300.oo book . I had one which I gave away yrs ago. a very good friend and truck co owner (Dom Moffo ) who has passed away had a number of buildings on his property. I see a for sale sign there now. unless the vultures have cleaned it out those buildings and trailers may hold parts=books galore .
