This book was created to train assembly plant staff to assemble the 1973 truck bodies. This is a worded instruction book rather than exploded numbered parts diagrams that you might have seen in other assembly manuals. It is a written overview explaining the assembly process. Each page addresses a body component showing:
- an illustration
- an explanation of how assembly is similar to or different from 1972
- tools or procedures that might be used to assemble
- differing parts that are used for differing models or equipment
- some pages illustrate the location of spot welds
The illustrations can sometimes show how parts are put together and other times show how tools are used in the assembly process. Some drawings are more helpful than others. You can also gain insight into why your truck is a certain way (some holes were predrilled, and others drilled on the assembly line, for example). This book shows only metal body parts - no upholstery, chrome trim, or hardware.
There are illustrations on just about every one of the book's pages. Each page has a watermark in the background like the example photos shown. New condition. Buy now to learn something new about your Ford.
