1947 Manuals

Bought a 1947 798T 1.5 ton 3 years ago. What manuals should I buy to keep handy?

Nice truck. As far as manuals go, I'd check with Faxon Auto Literature in Riverside, CA.

Not sure of what is available but they could advise you, IMO.

I think these would come in handy. Mine are all factory originals but reprints are readily available also. There is another repair manual in the series titled "Generating and Starting Systems 1933-1947". Yours is a very nice truck. My father had the same model in the early 50's used in his fuel oil delivery business. Joe.

Thanks for the pics! They will come in handy for ordering the manuals! Much appreciated!

Love the truck. I just inherited a 46' pumper that looks like the same body. I got my manual from faxon but it does not seem to have all the specific info needed for the car such as what kind of oil to use. Did you have any luck with other manuals?
