126" WB with a choice of V8 or 6cyl.
I didn't check to see if the parts are covered, but I know they are in other years post 1971.
As for the relatively small amounts of detail in the earlier books, I agree with you. If only the books from the 1940s were as detailed as those from the 1980s! But even with their limited information it is important to have the correct books for the truck you are working on. I used to check books several years on either side of the truck I was working on just to double check things. There are several different numbers in the books for some specs on parts that didn't appear to change. Sometimes it is useful to try the other spec if things aren't working out. Also some books have more detail on one area or another. Asking for help from a friend or on the forum is a great resource, but the books can be pretty useful as well.
