Not that I am aware of. Most are reprints of reprints of reprints. Somewhere on this forum is a pdf.

I found this online as a free download. I have not gone through all of it yet but here is a sample of one of the drawings. https://www.corvette-restoration.com...bly_Manual.pdf (Let me know if the link does not work for you)

I bought an assembly manual for my 69 over 40 years ago. Even then, as mentioned above, it was obviously a copy of a copy of a copy. I looked thru quite a few various pages of the pdf referenced above by HCK, and it is far more clear and readable than mine from years ago. I'd doubt the ones any of the peddlers are selling now are better than this free one.

We all can be very thankful for Mid America Enterprises, now called Mid America Motorworks for originally collecting these copies of the A.I.M. for us in the mid seventies. I can't imagine working on our cars without them!
GM would toss them into the trash after the model year change. My original 68 & 69 copies say GM Photographic at the top of each page. Lou.
