An index tooling assembly for supporting a component during a manufacturing process includes a stationary support, a bracket fixed to the stationary support, and a locking assembly. A rail is fixed to the stationary support. The index tooling assembly includes an indexing assembly movably coupled to the rail to adjust a position of the indexing assembly. The indexing assembly includes at least one indexing feature configured to cooperate with a locating feature of the component. The locking assembly includes a post movably coupled to the bracket and a tongue supported via the post. The tongue is attachable to a clevis of the indexing assembly to move the indexing assembly linearly in response to movement of the post. The post is selectively locked in a final position to fix the indexing assembly in an initial position to prevent movement of the indexing assembly relative to the stationary support.
