Corvette Assembly Manual
This may be an obvious question, but is the manual ordered by the assembly sequence?
I have my 69 dash removed and am about to reinstall it. I started wondering if there is a "correct" sequence to install it, center, driver, passenger for instance. Does the assembly manual provide this information? I have one and sometimes I think it is in assembly order and other times I am not so sure.
Thanks for the help.

No , to me the manual isn`t set up as a sequence manual . I just did my dash ,on my 69 . With the steering column removed , for more room ,and wire harness run correctly I started with drivers side dash first , more room to plug in all lights and plugs into back . Then reinstall column . ( column helps holds dash up in place ) Then center dash and last is the passenger . Before you do passenger side make sure you plug in the blower resistor on the back side of heater box .

I think in a loose sense it is in sequence, beginning with the chassis basics, birdcage welds, and body seams & sealants. Then moves on to secondary sort of components and so on. The options in the last half of the manuals would be "inserted" into the appropriate non-optioned assembly steps. It's not detailed enough though to say that what appears on any certain page must happen before any following pages.

Agreed, assembly manual is great for exploded diagrams showing where each part goes. Is there a washer on this side? or that side?
But the service manual explains the order of disassembly and reassembly.
