any guides on how to reassemble truck?

:Hi guys, long story short I have a truck that is completely disassembled, but I didn't do it so I'm not sure where/how everything goes back together. Are there any good books or something that just show how all the pieces go back? This would be a lot easier if I ever saw it together or did the work taking it apart but I bought it mid-build! Thanks

A factory assembly manual would likely be in order.

Take a look at the LMC website. They are a great source for information.

I dont know if you are new to this truck game or not......but if you are....ALWAYS use LMC as a last resort for anything other than looking up available parts in the catalog to buy from other vendors! They can also be a good source of technical information.

If it was me I would find another truck close by to go look at OR buy a junker to use as a guide or extra parts and re sell or scrap when you were done with it.

I purchased a used factory service manual off of eBay for about $15 shipped to my door.
