Interesting Factory Documentation

Post by siglumous »

I just bought these two interesting documents on eBay from a gentleman who said his father worked for Lincoln back in the day. Are there other volumes that anyone knows about?

Wow. Just received these. Full of details i’ll likely never need to know. But I have it just in case ;) I’ll bring these to baffle the Illuminati at their next convention/show/gathering or meeting. Esoteric stuff at its best. :)

Those don't look like dealer service publications. They look like assembly line books. Nice score.

The guy I bought the first two books from came across a third, for electrical, and asked me if I wanted that too!. Still not sure if I have the complete set...

In the meantime, if anyone wants a pic of a particular page/component (table of contents pictured above), let me know and I can post.

The weld manual is not so useful, but the electrical installation manual is excellent for part numbers, harness routing, and exploded views.

What is the "Installation Manual" in the first pic? Body installation? Like how to install... everything but wiring harnesses?

I could scan 11" X 17". Just nothing over 18" in length.

I think these are 18x24. Oddball size, for sure.

The "installation" manual covers mostly body. Here's a photo of the table of contents.
