by hemicop Tue Jan 21, 2014 1:53 pmWell, thanks to some guys here my A100 PU project is coming along nicely---engine/trans in, wiring done, brakes done & most replacement panels at least partially in, so overall I'm pretty content. However, when I bought a shop manual there were no actual exploded diagrams of some of the stuff in the truck. Anyone have some they could post up? There was a guy on anther site that had them but for some reason he took them down.

I have a '64 A100 truck. what I need are diagrams showing the interior (seat assembly, engine cover, climate controls, dashboard . I realize they're simple pieces but you know how it is---parts taken apart long time ago & you foreget just how & where pieces go. The manual I have is the old one with the red & white cover with the van on it. It's at my shop away from home so I can't give yousn exsct title or image)

Dodge only supplied Owner's manuals (not much help for what you are doing), Service manuals, (good for most stuff), and the Parts manuals (dealer only). They did not author or supply assembly manuals like Chevy did.
The page I had bookmarked is now gone, although the rest of the site is still there.
He may have got a 'cease and desist' letter from Chrysler, or decided that hosting the info was too much cost or time, or moved on to other things.
If you can visit a big car swap meet, some dealer parts manuals are still out there.
SEAT - The driver's seat is the one with a slider adjustment. Install the supports loosely to the floor with the hold-downs going inward over the tubing. Install the seat and slide the support so the front pins and rear snap align, then tighten the support bracket bolts.
Engine cover (doghouse) - Front goes in first, then the rear, then the sides. In each location, there is a nut clip (except for the 2 studs) on the floor and the front and back. Install it all loosely, then align it so it closes and seals nicely. Tighten the floor bolts first, then the sides.
Climate controls - I tend to remove them with the heater box. If you separated them, the labels on the knobs should point you in the right direction. I can check this out if you need more info. The bracket is held on by a couple screws, IIRC.
Dashboard - install everything except the cluster first. It gives a lot more access. Once you have it all in, connect the wiring, then install the cluster, gasket glass, foam gasket and faceplate. Then connect the speedo cable. The radio is a strange beast, but if you have the parts ready, it's pretty obvious.
