Pat Curran Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I have the chassis manual (shop manual) and body manual for a 1969. They have been listed in the items for sale in the Riview in the literature section. These are originals, not repros. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Pat, I am looking for information that would only be presented in the factory assembly manual...or a factory quality control manual... but very few people would know they exist. But thanks anyway!

Tom I have a current reprint copy of the 69 Buick Assembly Manual. It's available via several retailers that sell reprinted car manuals.

I have the 63 Service Manual and 63 Body Manual for 63 Buick’s. Is the assembly manual known to be the same item.? If there is a manual that shows how to put stuff back together again I’d first in line to buy such a book. Please advise and thank you.

Pat Curran Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 The chassis manual is the shop manual. It is a great source for mechanical and electrical references. The body manual is a good source for all body assembly information. Both go into much detail on troubleshooting, assembly and how to replace items. The ones for your year are available through automotive literature dealers. Average prices range from $45 to $65 dollars for originals. Repros are a little cheaper.

Turbinatot Bob, The assembly manual was used by the factory to "build" the car to Engineering Specifications, it is different than the books you mention above. I am not sure of the availability of them for the '63 but a sample of the first couple of pages of the manual for the 1972 is pictured below. You might check With Jim Cannon and see if he might be able to help you with the 1963 manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbinator Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Mr Rivman, thank you for the clarification. it is possible if I knew how the car went together it could help me how to fix some items. For instance, getting the evaporator box in and out is real hard. Any info on “how to” can only help. thank you Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 An assembly manual is a one way street. It only tells you how and in which order parts are put ON the car. Nothing about taking them out. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
