It dosent appear to be in a particular order or have index. Is that the way they are? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy cribb5170, yes unfortunately that's the way they are. But you can always ask us questions, part of the reason we're here is to help if we can. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 990 Member | | Member Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 990 | The assembly manual shows how everything is put together. Often the shop guides tell you stuff, but lack enough pictures to explain everything. Then you grab that assembly manual. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | which series? the TF manual starts each section w/ "overview" pictures that refer to section numbers - I'd expect all the manuals to be grouped into Frame, Suspension/Brakes, Cab, Front, Bed, Engine/Driveline - should be roughly in the order they assemble the trucks, tho it'll have the different size models mixed thru
helps if you have a bit of understanding of reading blueprints too

At the start of each section (body, chassis, etc) there is a series of pictures indicating the page where each assembly step can be found. Each section has a separate number, which also serves as the prefix for the page number. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 42 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 42 | Hello, Does anyone know where I can get an assembly drawing for a 1946 1 1/2 ton truck?
