This is an assembly manual unlike any other you’ve seen. It is mostly text with only a few illustrations– it contains the written instructions for the final assembly line. The final assembly line includes putting major components, such as engine, transmission, and body, onto the rolling chassis, as well as installing mechanical components. This manual describes the parts used in assembly, often identifying what they’re made of and how they are sealed. Sometimes, you’ll learn specific instructions for a how a part is installed. Or, you’ll find out tips to take special care in cleaning, adjusting, or sealing a part to prevent problems. Areas of carryover and change from 1946 are often addressed.
