GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CK Series
The chassis sheet metal assembly is attached to the
frame and body at adjustment points. The front of the
assembly is supported by two mounts located at the
frame side rails. Fore and aft and side adjustment is
allowed by oversize holes at the fender rear attaching
point and chassis sheet metal mounts. Special shims at
the rear locations allow adjustment of the rear of the
assembly. The lower rear edge of the assembly is
attached to the body at the rocker panel by bolts on each
side. Shims are used at this location to provide in and
out adjustment at the rear of the fender. The bolts that
retain the sheet metal braces must be torqued to the
required torques. If these bolts are loose, the braces will
not provide additional support for the sheet metal
assembly.
G Series
The front end sheet metal design does not include the
radiator support and fenders as loose items inasmuch
that these items are welded together as an integral part
of the body.
Front end sheet metal includes the hood assembly, hood
hinges, hood lock catch and support, a hood rod
assembly which supports the hood, a welded in radiator-
upper tie bar, and series designation plates and hoods
emblems. Refer to figure 13 for sheet metal checking.
Refer to Section 13 for Radiator and Grille service
procedures, Section 14 for Bumpers, and Section 1A for
Heater.
