Chrysler 20 Owner's Manual

C-20 - Code Flags


manual logo

Joel Caren has taken the time to scan this copy of the original 1978 Chrysler 20 Owner's Manual. This manual includes all sorts of helpful information for C-20 owners. Joel attempted to maintain the original look and feel of this document as much as possible. Consequently, the manual looks better printed out than it does on screen.

Additional thanks go to Claudia & Bob Guthrie, who sent a much-needed hard copy of the C-20 Owner's Manual.

The drawings and equipment lists comprising the manual were too time consuming to convert to .html format, so they were simply scanned and saved as .gif files. For your benefit, I've included the page numbers, descriptions, and file sizes. To view the individual pages of the manual, simply click on the descriptions in the table below.

Please keep in mind that these .gif files are fairly large, so be patient while they are loading.
