Hey you people who know the older Dodge trucks and service manuals for them.

I have a "want to buy" in here and if it doesn't pan out I have this option.
(See the two copy/paste's below)

Which book here would be the best?
Both cost about $50.00 USD and sound ok to me.

But...I do have questions..

Is a 64 and a 63 D200 the same?

And... if they are?..............

Maybe the 64 book would have more information than the 63 book which says that it covers all the "S" series trucks...

I don't understand the "S" series? I thought these trucks were "D" series?

My Truck is a D [ala the D200 on the grill emblem]

Any help is greatly appreciated.. I am dealing with a very thin wallet.
I need to make a wise choice and can't do that w/out your wisdom.


Thanks in advance !
Spider

"S-series" refers to the production sequence. All 1962 Chrysler Corp vehicles (cars and trucks) were S models. All 1963s were T models. All 1964s were V models.

Bishko has historically been generally reliable but rather high of price. If he is actually selling real, licenced, genuine manuals, you might as well just go to the source: http://www.moparmanuals.com .

See also this thread.

There are only minor differences between the info contained in the '63 and '64 manuals applicable to Dodge trucks such as yours.
