Chilton or Haynes manual?
For run-of-the-mill cars, like an old Toyota PU, is one of these manuals markedly better than the other? Or are they the same-same? Thanks.

I've always found Haynes to be a little better.

Same chit IMHO. But I use them - it is okay if you have decent wrenching experience and just want to re-confirm steps, i.e. what all needs to come off.

I've purchased Haynes for our daily cars over the years and found them useful for details like removal and reinstallation of parts that are unique to that vehicle.
Recently, the ol' Internet has been my go to reference. There is SOOO much infoout there you are sure to find what you need with a little searching. Videos are very helpful for a visual person like me.

Ive found Chiltons to be useful for overall data. When working on something with many different engine and transmission options, they can get frustrating.
