WAYNE's 58 APACHE BUILD THREAD

[OrrieG]

Buy a factory assembly manual, best $20 you will spend. I have found lots of things that were missing on my truck. Also other good information, like all the hidden places they caulked them to keep the squeaks down and water out. And also the sequense for assembly. And the answer to questions like, what kind of nut held the door in place, or what is behind that place I am drilling a hole in. Or what parts were in the V8 engine RPO. Also wiring diagrams and detailed dimensional info so you can tell if your frame is straight or been hacked. Plus I just like to look at the drawings, knowing that they were hand drafted with ink. That is how I learned to draft and have great respect for the technical drafters that figured out a lot of that stuff from the engineers sketches.
