1942-1948 Fisher Body Welding Assembly Manual Reprint - All Chevy Cars, Olds 66/68, Pontiac Torpedo

This assembly manual is unlike anything you've ever seen. This Fisher body plant assembly manual shows how metal body parts are welded together - it shows the location of hundreds of welds. It’s helpful for hidden welds holding up parts you might need to remove and replace. If you’re replacing parts due to rust, you’ll find out how to replace mounting parts that have rusted away. The book is particularly useful if the car has had damage from a wreck. You learn the specific type of weld (stitch, gas, seam, etc.) that was originally used in each location.

The book covers cars from the firewall back; the hood and front fenders are not covered (because these were assembled at the chassis assembly plant and not the Fisher body plant). The book was originally published in 1942 and then updated in '46. Since '47 and '48 were nearly identical, the same book continued to be used. Please see the sample page image. All pages are watermarked with a background image like the sample page. Buy now to own this hard-to-find manual.
