Looking for a shop manual on a 78 K5 - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Im looking for a shop manual of sorts or some type of book that give all the specs for my 78 K5. I bought this last year and have been taking it apart for the past year. I am down to just the chassi and the axels. Sold or tossed everything else. This winter I want to rebuilt the chassi and suspension and the axels. Will be looking at putting maybe some one ton axels on it. Not sure yet... Have to find a good deal on them. This is my first project like this and I would like to do it by the Book sort of speek. Im getting ready to pull the axels off this next month or two and plan to strip the chassi down to nothing so I can get it sand blasted..

Im not a 100% sure what Im going to put back on this chassi, but I would like to keep it most of the way stock I think.
ANy help would be great..
Thanks
mikes
