<< Hey Paul, in the same vein, I was working on a car a while back and was
needing a tail light assembly. I stumbled across one at a flea market
and bought it for 20 bucks. Brought it home, but did not install it. A
couple weeks went by, when I was at another parts flea market, and
didn't I see another tail light assembly for 25 bucks. Forgetting that
I had just bought one, I proceeded to buy this one as well!
Just figured I'd let you know that you don't have the market cornered on
stupidity!! :^) >>
I don't know if you have it totally cornered: I did some research on the
differences between the '55-2 and '56 3100 short beds. In particular, I was
interested in the chrome (which just happens to be most of the difference)
pieces. A month later, armed with that knowledge, I went out and spent WAY
too much money for a hood badge and fender spears for a '56. When I arrived
home and excitedly threw open the garage door, I quickly confirmed what I
already knew: Roscoe is a '55-2! I only recently got rid of the stuff.
DUH!
