Default Chev vs Ford manuals

I remember as a teenager marveling over the beautiful accurate line drawings in the Ford manual but also puzzling over how to do things when it seemed often there were gaps in the sequence. I particularly laughed whenever I struck the "reassembly can be made by reversing the above procedure" instruction.

Over the years it has occurred to me Ford must have been way ahead of their time in carbon credits by reducing the amount of ink and paper needed to make a manual.

So as a general comment it seems to me the Chev manual is better laid out and far more informative than the Ford one where the strongest point is good drawings of things so a restorer can see what things should look like and what may be missing from their vehicles.

What's been your experience of the manuals?
