not normal for me

hey guys, i just got back from nearly 7 months over there, my 56 bbw has arrived and here in lies the delema, this is a real nice mostly original truck with a 292/3 speed o/d, i grabed a set of steel genie's for it and a disc conversion, but after driving it i'm thinking of leaving the truck as is appart from refitting a back bar and retrimming the seat, has any one got a scanned sales brochure showing the truck when they were new and what interior trim was an option?, a customer of mine is also restoring a 56 for a client and has been asked to make it as original as posible, can anyone guide me/him to where i may sorce imfo like assembly line paint blobs, correct engine detail colours, wheel colour etc etc.
thanks....gary

Hey, Scrape, I think you may have better response if you reword the title to something along the way of " need help wuth orig int/colors", "need help w/56 int scheme" or something along those lines. I think you are smart to leave a goodtruck alone when it is a solid example. Sure sounds like a fine ride to me. Keep us posted with plenty of update pics.

Hey scrape,

Yea, sometimes things are just too clean to cut up. I'm glad you have the forethought to keep a nice truck stock.
Here's a link that may have some info for you;

Got any pics of the beauty?
Bobby
