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.

The best maual hands down is the factory service manual (FSM).
Reproductions are available from many sources, heres one-

For parts there are a number of good suppliers such as Walcks

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.
