Huh? Am I missing something here?
The ones I linked to are the factory manuals...later renamed "Shop Manuals". They cover all aspects of repair, maintenance, specs, and O/H.
Perhaps I miss-understood your request, my apologies.

At the risk of showing my ignorance....
 
What's the difference between the "Chassis Service Manual" and the "Overhaul Manual" (other than title and color of the cover Wink).  I have the service manual but not the other.

The overhaul manual goes into detail about disassembly/assembly of major components, transmission, fuel system, brakes;etc. There is one more manual to this 3 book set, that covers wiring diagrams (Blue Cover).
 
Joel is correct, this is the original shop manual from GM, this set retails for around $165.00.  Joel gave me the Ebay tip when I got mine.  They were in great shape and saved me over $120.00!!!
 
At $22.00 it's a bargain.  They have already saved me hours of frustration!!

Not all year cars had multiple manuals, but most of our years(68-82) did. My '85 has only one manual, and it is Corvette only, with no other car models included. The manuals I bought for our Caddidillac have many...engine, chassis, electrical, TSBs/recalls, etc.

For instance, the '75 service manuals require the '74 manuals to be complete. The cars were close enough to not warrant an entirely new manual, so they just added the '75 specific info to the "supplement". The '75 supplement is realy of no use without the '74 main manual.
