Are there tech write-up's/how-to's/sticky's on how to reassemble every year of every Chevelle from the ground up, down to every single nut and bolt and where everything goes? Anybody can take something apart but putting it back together is a a different story. There needs to be a section for every year. For example (just to see what I'm talking about):

1970 Chevelle Disassembly/Reassembly:

1. Front End and Sheetmetal
A. Bumper, Grille, Headlights
B. Hood, Fenders, Inner Fenders
2. Engine and Transmission
3. Interior
A. Seats and Carpet
B. Doors, Door Panels, and Trim
C. Dashboard, Steering Wheel/Column
D. Heater Core/Firewall, Misc., etc.
4. Brakes
5. Suspension
6. Rear Differential and Axles

1971 Chevelle Disassembly/Reassembly:

1. Front End and Sheetmetal
A. Bumper, Grille, Headlights
B. Hood, Fenders, Inner Fenders
2. Engine and Transmission
3. Interior
A. Seats and Carpet
B. Doors, Door Panels, and Trim
C. Dashboard, Steering Wheel/Column
D. Heater Core/Firewall, Misc., etc.
4. Brakes
5. Suspension
6. Rear Differential and Axles

1972 Chevelle Disassembly/Reassembly:

1. Front End and Sheetmetal
A. Bumper, Grille, Headlights
B. Hood, Fenders, Inner Fenders
2. Engine and Transmission
3. Interior
A. Seats and Carpet
B. Doors, Door Panels, and Trim
C. Dashboard, Steering Wheel/Column
D. Heater Core/Firewall, Misc., etc.
4. Brakes
5. Suspension
6. Rear Differential and Axles

It would definitely eliminate a lot of other random questions, and anybody can go to the specific year, look for what they want to take apart and then put it back together, step by step with a full pictorial. Maybe????

Is that too much to ask or is it just a bad idea all together?

GM Assembly manual comes to mind. Will answer most if not all your questions. Fisher body manual and GM service manual. I would not attempt one without these manuals.

If your looking for a step by step procedure, I don't think there is one. As it was stated your best bet would be the assembly manual. it's not an instruction manual but does show how things went together.

I agree. I wish there was such a book. I do have the GM manuals, but they do leave a lot to guess. I am doing a frame off on a 1970 Chevelle 396.
I am at the point of reasembling the frame and all the parts. In the books, the rear end leaves for lot of questions. Also the paint codes of all the parts. I had a 57 Belair years ago that I was doing and they had a book that walked you threw from bumper to bumper and all the paint codes.
YES I WISH THERE WAS SUCH A BOOK FOR THE 1970 CHEVELLE!!!:confused:
