Some plants did it as shown (the LIFE magazine Tarrytown photos show a buck build front end); some plants did "piecemeal".

Thanks Keith I learn something new every time you do a posting. The new words of the day are "Buck Build"(makes sense but I never new that's what it was called). When I worked at the Chicago Ford plant in '67 they did the Buck Build and as you know Janesville, WI. installed the core support and grille as a unit then added the fenders. Like I said earlier I've never seen the hood go on as part of the front end assembly.
