I need an interior diagram for a 97 chev 3 door, it's been a few weeks and I am forgetting where it goes back in. All interior is out short of the dash.
Where what goes in??

I need an interior diagram for a 97 chev 3 door, it's been a few weeks and I am forgetting where it goes back in. All interior is out short of the dash.
When I install an interior, I use the same procedure as the factory.
Generic instructions. In order.
1. Floor - Sound deadener, then underlay (if seperate from carpets) carpets. *Tip* Install all the bolts in the floor for the seat belts, & seats. This will help to align the carpet, if using the original. If new carpets are being installed, this will end any frustration of trying to find the holes for the bolts in the new carpets. Mark the center of the carpet, first. Start the install from the center out to the edges, doing one side at a time, folding it back over the other side to apply the glue.
Install door sill plates. Install kick panels.
2. Headliner. This will be held in place by the visors, velcro on front edges, & the dome light. O/H console, if applicable.
3. Components on back wall, starting from the bottom up. Carpet, amps, etc.
4. Back corner plastic pieces.
5. Plastic trim over the doors & 'A' pillars. (See what's happening here? Start at the back bottom working up & forward to the top front.)
6. Place seat belts in rear seat, then install seat. This saves any frustration of trying to get the seat belts in after the seat's installed.
7a. Install console, if applicable. (buckets)
8a. Install front seat belts. (buckets)
9. Install buckets. Slide the tracks all the way to the back. (seat forward, in the truck.) Install rear bolts, slide seat back, install front bolts.
---------------
7b. Install seat belts in front seat. (bench)
8b. Install front bench, bolt down seat belts.
---------------
10. Install door panels.
Like I said, this is a generic procedure that I follow when doing interiors in any vehicle, custom fabbed, or stock.
Let me know if you hit any roadblocks. I'll try to help as best I can.
Anything haha, like I am pretty sure when I look at the parts I know where I pulled them, but some in different orders, just wondering if anyone had a diagram or schematic of an exploded view of the interior
I will take diagrams for the rear seat, back of cab trim and carpet. I know the doors and dash pretty well. And I just happened to be wise enough to bag screws and fasteners, I even wrote on the bags where I pulled them. Watch for my build thread soon, because I did pull my Chevy apart to just a cab on a frame with an engine attached. It just ended up taking a lot longer then I thought (3-4 weeks) to do the work. And since the interior was the first to go, it's also the first thing I'm forgetting details about.
