    The ST36 has the most information in it. the ST22 is for series 10-80 trucks and came out before the vans did. About all it is good for is for engine and general repair information,,,,,,

    They printed the original in 1963 and used it for the 64 and 65 vans,,,,,,,1966 van is in the 1966 series 10-80 truck shop manual supplement,,,,,but then you can probably find new reprints of these books,,,,,,,,

    When I went to put my 64 back together, I had to keep looking at my NY 65. To see where everthing went & for any parts I lost after 7 years.(Hey G-man want to buy a spare van???)

    That looks like only the body stuff,,,,,,you need a shop or service manual and the overhaul one,,,,,,,and there nothing better than having a greasy page BOOK to let you know you are doing real work,,,,,,,,
