What manual?

[el dub]

Hey everybody I am looking to put all this stuff together after paint but since I didn't take it off I dont know how it goes back except for the obvious. Also included but no photo is all the stainless trim and their associated hardware. Which dodge manual shows how to do this work. All I have to work with is a chilton manual, Dodge 1968 to 1977, and it's not real specific on these parts. Thanks for any help.

The Dodge Charger Field Service Manual, I think you can get them from Y1.  would be a good start but it may not show you enough detail on everything.  I've seen a lot of guys just post a picture of the part on this forum and ask for others to post pictures of where and how it goes.  May be slow but it seems to work.  Lots of folks here ready to help and have old pics around of their work.

I also agree, I can see plenty of stuff I know where it goes but some I can't see because of the picture. Take close ups of some of what you don't know and I'm sure someone here will know.

Yeah really doesn't look too bad, I see lots of familiars there as well. The litter fasteners are the toughest. You need the factory service manual like others have said. It is now reproduced and available all over the place in both book and CD format.

45.5 KB (46,687 bytes) My pic size, when I resize with windows resizer this is what it is. I  can't figure out what is going on as all the pics I've posted are this size but no go today or yesterday. Tried to post  pics of a 64 polara for sale and it says I already posted it. My hair is gone now.

I use imageshack.us to upload my pictures, then you can make them as big as you want. Take the original large photo and upload it there, then it will give you a link and forum code you can paste into your post.

Parts book illustrations might provide more detail than a service manual.

Thanks for the info. I just couldn't firgure out what I'm doing wrong, the pic at the top worked. Logged off, turned off. changed name, from the Q&Q section, still no go. So, just curious, will probably work tomorrow.

 second from bottom  picture  ! cant remember seeing anything like on mine  , looks to be some sort of plastic trim clip that a screw , or another nail type clip goes through to open it up  

last picture might be sun visor tip ,   although not sure , never removed mine   

[el dub]

Damn, your good. Thanks.

[twodko]

Nice work Tan 

Hard to see, but is that a ballast resistor to the left of the antenna mounting hardware?

thats what i thought at first  , although more i looked  thinking its plasticish looking ! then had a flash back & seem to remember something like that wrapped/bouned/whipped into the rear tail lamp harness ,  its a locating clip that slides over one of the welded to the floor metel bendable tangs thingys   ,  to locate the harness    

see yellow circles in pictures

Tan Top, thanks for the replys, I appreciate the time it took for you to do this. Great site!

no probs glad to help !
that bolt i have ringed in yellow , has it got a rubber gasket or backing pad to it ??

[Alaskan_TA]

second from bottom  picture

It looks like it may be a firewall insulation pin (some folks call them nails) to me. If so, the tip is broken off.

                                      Here's a pic of the broken one and the one next to it. The round white plastic pieces fit the chrome bolt shown on second pic, I think it has something to do with the buddy seat? Thanks Tan Top

yeah good point  , the white plastic spacers/ washers could be for a buddy seat , look about the right size i think  between hinge & armrest or seat back   & those  chrome headed bolts   hmm that prolly why i don't reconise them  , as mine never had  the buddy seat opiton

[el dub]

Thanks TT, that'll help me out down the road. Once I get it painted. Right now I am back underneath pulling out the power steering gear again. Had it rebuilt, installed it, fired it up and turned the steering wheel back and forth to get rid of air. Big puddle underneath. So when I pulled the pitman arm off there was a snap ring retainer that dropped out. At least the mechanic will rebuild it again as he guaranteed his work.

Tha black rivet thing.Noted as never seen anything like that .Reminds me of that interior color plastic rivet on 70 upper doors.Forward of of the remote mirror control

[el dub]

That thing has a hole going down thru the center of it. Thanks for the reply. I'm still wondering what kind of book would show these things and where they go. Maybe some kind of generic how to do manual on trim or interior parts?

not that it will show the all the  kind of things your needing  , but you need a FSM  as it shows you a lot of  good stuff  

check  Jeroen 's   awesome  web site   , loads of pictures  & where things go ! to look at ,

Thanks for the links and help TT, looks like I better get the FSM. I just have a chiltons repair and tune up guide and a restoration guide but it doesn't have a lot of stuff in it.
