Slick Chassis drawings

Post by jamesdfo »

Has anybody found a good online site for Slick Chassis Dimensions. I talking about the type used by body/frame shops to work from to repair a frame to OEM dimensions. They usually have a plan view and elevation view drawing, along with dimensions & datum lines....
I did a quick search, and the only thing I found was some shyte drawing on fordification that appear to be out of one of the Ford books, but all they had on them was PN's for various components, no dimensions anywhere......

Thanks!

There is (was?) an eBay seller offering copies of the frame shop dimensions.

I will attempt to locate them in my unorganized files and scan and post. It just won't be real soon due to sudden work load.

Paul: That would be great! I just had a quick look on ebay, but by the results that come up, I'm clearly not using the right search words:

I also made a call one evening last week to try & track down the fellow that owned the building that the shop I started my apprenticeship at back in '79 was in. He ran his own shop in that building for many years before that, so may still have the books.....but he's presently in AZ, so hopefully he gets back to me when he returns....

I think what you are looking for was Tru-way frame book. I don't still have mine, sold when I sold shop but wish I had kept the old one, they probably got thrown away by new owner.

There are a couple of basic drawings on this guys stream. I would like to see the frame/body shop drawings as well.
