Tom:
Heavy Chevy's catalog has a page titled "Identifying
your truck" that shows the differences in trim from 55.2
thru 59. I'll scan it tonight and e-mail it tomorrow.

Roger, you mentioned the "hood emblem change" and the "fender emblem
placement" on the '55 and '56 Chevy trucks. What were the specific
differences? I've never been able to tell the '55 and '56 trucks apart and
would like to be able to tell which is which.
