Best Manual for Jeep Repairs
 

Folks, I just purchased a 1959 CJ5 jeep and would like to get some
recommendations on best repair/maintenance manuals to purchase. I see
various manuals by a number of different companies.

Also if you have any preferred parts suppliers who you have had good
luck with, I'd like to hear that too.

I had a chilton guide for a CJ. It was right about 90% of the time,
but when it was wrong, boy was it frustrating.
