Manuals/Catalogs

[69XP383]

Anyone know where to find free downloads on the internet of diagrams (exploded views) for a 69 charger? Repair manuals, body manuals, assembly manuals, parts, etc.? I've found some for sale on e-bay etc., but I don't want to cough up the $30-$60 if I don't have too.

Thanks!

Great start; how about body diagrams? I have a car that has some repair/fabrication completed and a lot to be completed; I have no manuals to even show me how the rear bumperetts attach to the rear valance panel that has been replaced...I'm still MOPAR ignorant, but learning alot thus far. The only friend I know who could tell me anything about MOPAR's has recently passed away, and he is the reason I have the car now. I remember he even warned me that if I ever bought an older Dodge, it might have the original wheel stud bolts that were left-threaded. You think I would have remembered that after breaking the first one of three bolts off the rear wheel hub/axel.

You should order up one of the fsm reproduction manuals either in print or on cd-rom.  If you intend to work on these cars yourself, they are indispensable.

i had a shop manul on CD for 73 PLYMOUTH nowhere near as much info as the parts catalog , body & chassis manuals $30-$60 for a 69 parts catalog sounds cheap ive seen them go for well over a $100+ on ebay .

I think it depends on what you're looking for.  I have shop manuals, parts catalogs and the cd-rom version of a couple and I'll stnad by my statement.  If you're going to work on the car yourself, the fsm is indispensable.  The separate body and chassis manuals did not appear until the 1971 model year and it was really just a matter of trying to get all the models into one manual and it ending up too big.  Prior to that, they had several manuals for every model year that each just covered a few models.  Each of those manuals in turn had both body and chassis info in them.
