Hey DAC, If you can compare this version to the new version, you will see I did a lot of cleaning, digitally, on the new one. I guess that's why it went up to 11.2MB,from 6.5MB. The easy tell is the missing 1960 ink pin letters in the very top right corner. It is erased in this new version, along with a lot of work on the cops uniform to repair an old crease line. The booklet had been folded in two for years, before I got it, and it has a seam horizontally across the front. I did what I could, but maybe someone else can get it closer to perfect. I just worry that the compressed new version might not print a 16x20 really well. Later, Greg Mead.

Opps, sorry I didn't understand your point on the smaller pic, Greg. I thought it sounded like you were having some downloading troubles. The one I'm going to print is the original version as some wear doesn't bother me and that's the way I remember it as a kid. The smaller version will make a great 8x10 but I can't tell you if it will go 16x20 well.

I meant to ask earlier, what are the dimensions of the original cover?

Hey DAC, I just measured the 1960 GMC OM cover. It is 7 1/2" x 9 7/8". I uploaded two versions of this 1960 manual. The first was larger and has 1960 written in ink on the upper right edge. The second version of this same picture has been cleaned and compressed. It does not have the ink pin written "1960" in the upper right corner. I could not get the cleaned up version to load until I compressed it. There is a lot of damage on the first version. You can use a program to erase most of it ,and get a much better print. Maybe I can email the 11.3 MB cleaned version to you. PM me and I will be glad to try and send it to you directly. Later, Greg Mead

Hello Greg, thanks for those dimensions. I'm probably going to print both of your versions at 8x10 as I just don't have poster size areas left on the wall of the shop. I suppose the ceiling is an option but admiring it there would be a pain in the neck---LOL! If you want to try to email the 11.3 one that's cool, if it comes through I will save and maybe use it someday.
