The 1972 Chevrolet Chassis Overhaul Manual (ST 333-72) covers bench disassembly and assembly of major components for the 1972 Chevrolet, Chevelle, Monte Carlo, Nova, Camaro and Corvette and for Series 10–30 Chevrolet trucks. Maintenance, adjustments, minor service and removal and installation are left to the 1972 Passenger Car or Truck Chassis Service Manual. The book follows GM section numbers: air conditioning compressor, four-wheel-drive front axle, rear axle differential carriers, power brake units, engine, carburetors, engine electrical, clutches and transmissions, and steering. Special tools close the major sections, and separate passenger car and truck specification chapters sit at the back.
