Good morning, I am in the process of doing a top end job on my 76 R75/6 and would like to know if I can still purchase Okleshen's top end manual. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

Mail a $ 30 check to Carol Okleshen 22637 Ridgeway Ave., Richton Park, IL 60471.
I ordered a copy last May and received it about 10 days later.

Hi I sent my payment to the above address and have not received anything yet. It’s been at least a month since I sent the $30 and I’m getting closer to putting the top end back together. I’m a bit disappointed since many members suggested purchasing that manual and confirmed that it was the right address to send the money too. Anyone know a way to contact the person selling them?

I don't have one in front of me, but I know the info should be in Airmail magazines we get. Not sure if it gives a number or email though.

Did the check get cashed? Maybe it never made it to her or it is just taking a bit long in our wonderful USPS. Or the USPS lost it, which is NOT uncommon.

This person is Oak's widow. Kindly send Carol a nice letter with an SASE and she hopefully will reply.

Me ! ! I'd have sent her $40.

And the end of this story is.... ?????

I see it's been a while for this thread, but is Oak's manual still Available? I sent message to Mrs. Okelson per the e-mail references above and have had no response. I fear she may have passed on as well? How do I get my hands on a copy now?

Kevin, if I can get your address, I have an old copy I can send you. I think it’s all stuck in my head now, and I can afford to part with it. Better to pass it on. Was always a fan of Oak, so this would be good. It’s not pristine, but it’s all there. Dave Elkow, Mission, TX. dgelkow at that big G place.
