Hi Christophe,

Welcome to the forum! There are several people looking for an original Set 7 manual,myself included! it seems to be the "holy grail" of CCKW manuals!.

All the best,

Matt.

Hi Christophe, there are pictures in the book ' Le GMC, un camion universel' by Boniface et Jeudy published by EPA Paris, there is also an English language version published by Haynes. As far as I know they are both out of print now but copies can be found on Amazon etc.

Welcome christophe of france!

BTW: If you install a #7 you cannot carry you MB/GPW in the back...
