are toyota manuals the only way to go on the pickups, or are the crappy chilton books good enough?

I have a Chiltons, a Haynes and a Factory Service Manual. They all have their up side. The FSM has nice step by step with pics, but the others have info on lots of years, and the Chiltons includes Cruisers..... But! I got my FSM off E-bay for $27 including shipping, so if you wait you can find a steal. I'd say Haynes or Chilton will be alright unless you want to rebuild a tranny..... hehe sorry. If that's why you're asking, you'll want the FSM. There's 29 pages on the G52 tranny in the FSM.

nope, not planning no rebuilding the g52...probably just going to look for a later w56 and t case to swap in.
want hte manual for things like that funky ass ifs front end and to see how to get things like dash apart. (would like to find a used dash cause mine's all busted up, as is the hvac control panel). heck it took me forever just to find the damn fuse block! maybe i shoulda stuck with my cruisers

I have a Haynes (which used to be very good) and it sucks. I never use it since I bought the FSM's for the runner.
IMOP, the FSM's are always better. You might want to check to see if the later w56's are going to work. The locations of the shifters changed through the years.

I have two Haynes (1979-1985 and 1979-199?) and FSM. The FSM gets used a lot. The Haynes lives in the truck for trail repair. For the most part I can live with the Haynes, at least the older version. The newer version doesn't cover solid axles, though I can do that blindfolded now. Both are worthwhile owning.
