    exploded diagrams of sheet metal?

    Does any one know where I can find exploded diagrams of how the sheet metal goes? I'm talking about the main body. The chop manual has nothing. A guy let me look at his Gold Star catalog and it had exactly what I wanted, but you have to be a distributor to get those. I've been looking at pictures etc, but the diagrams in the catalog had every piece of metal and where it went, etc. I'm sure I can figure it all out, it would just help me visualize some things like how the A pillar reinforcement (see pic below) goes in exactly, bcs mine are almost completely gone (rust and somebody cut on them) - I have a good idea, but this is one of dozens of such things I'm sure I'll scratch my head about.

    Eckler's, Danchuk, CARS, H&H, and some others have somewhat good exploded diagrams, if that's what you need. Key words, somewhat good - they are not excellent.

    No, floor pan does not include that part. Yes pic is upside down. I was just using that as an example of seeing a picture is worth a 1000 words so to speak.
