64 polara chassis manual

[dukeboy_318]

Does anyone have the dimensions for the subframe and such for a 64 polara? Or know where i can find a chassis manual online for one?

I believe that the Factory Service Manual (FSM) has a section in it where the frame dimensions are shown along with a drawing/sketch of the frame. This would come in handy to body shops [for example] in ensuring that your car is straight/square if it had been in a collision.

I'll take a look at my manual tomorrow afternoon when I get home from work and can visit the garage.

Ok.....so in the reproduction FSM I have in Section 23 (Body and Sheet Metal - Dodge) on page no. 92 there are 2 hand sketches showing Body Dimensions. One sketch is the Bottom View of the frame, K member, etc... and the other sketch is a side view of the frame. It's pretty simple looking by today's standards, but 1964 was a simpler time.....

The manual I'm looking at can be found here among other places.....https://www.amazon.com/Factory-Shop-Service-Manual-Polara/dp/B00IW90XOE

Just a side note, that manual is half that amount on rockauto. I have the one from rockauto and it is identical to the original.

Sorry, you've got to go back one screen. Here is the correct link to the literature page for a 1964 Polara.

I bought the manual hoping it was step by step on things like they do with modern cars, but as I've read through a few sections, some of this is kind of unwritten "figure that crap out, you're the mechanic." Ironically, I was just watching Graveyard Cars last night and Mark Worman discovered (by using an untouched survivor car) that the way he'd been bolting the ground cable to the engine block was not the way it was done by the factory.
