If you work on vintage GM vehicles or collect original service material, these two factory-issued manuals from 1972 get straight to the point—technical, practical, and original.

What’s Inside These Manuals:

This set includes two official service guides from the Saginaw Steering Gear Division of General Motors, covering drive shafts and power steering systems in passenger cars and light trucks.

You’ll get detailed diagrams, diagnostic charts, torque specs, disassembly procedures, and repair instructions.
Both manuals are complete and packed with practical content:

  1. Power Steering Systems (Manual No. 201): 44 pages
  2. Drive Shafts (Manual No. 208): 28 pages

Expect detailed procedures for teardown, inspection, and installation—just like a mechanic in 1972 would have used.

Good to Know Before You Buy

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.

Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.

With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.

Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
