Hello Mal,
Thanks for your answer

It is indeed removing the body from the frame.
First I want to sand blasting the frame and do a new paint job for the frame.
I am glad that your anwer is "have had the complete assembled body, including structural wood, "dropped" onto the frame "
I think it makes removing the body much easier and now I have a way to get the the body from the frame
Some pieces of the wooden pillars are in bad shape (rot /powder) so i have to remake them or buy them if that is still posible.
Do you know or there are drawings of the pillars.
Next question is how do I remove the wooden pillars and other wooden pieces from the steel body ?

The next time I wil add some pictures of the pillars.

Regards
Hans Klaver

Hello all,

I am working on the restoration of my Packard
Right now, I want to disassemble the body of the frame and I want to know, can I disassemble the body with the wooden frame and floor in it.

Can someone give me some advice where are the points where the body is conected with the frame.

I realise that this question is easier made than answered but I have to start somewhere.

Awaiting your response,
Sincerely yours,

Mal,

According to your advice I have looked at EbaY and indeed there are a lot of repair manuals.
In the meantime I have bought a number of books including the "1935-1952 Motors Car Repair Manual 15th Edition Shop Service Book for US Models".
I believe this book is the same as yours.
So I make no use of your offer.
Any way
Thanks for everything.

Thanks for your answer.
Would you like to tell me where I can find the Motors Manual, for 38 Packard Super Eight 1603.
I think it's very helpful for me in the future.

BDC,

In the Dutch language there is no distinction between a dynamo and a generator it is both a machine which generates electricity, in General, a dynamo is small, and a generator is big.
A dynamo is placed on a bicycle and a generator is placed in a ship.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
