Spotters's Guide enjoy TF guys

Here's Thom Taylor's 55-59 spotters guide from the Aug '96 Custom Classic Trucks. Had to scan 2 pages and paste them together.




Did he do one for the 47-55 trucks?

You may also have '56 fenders. The spears are above the belt line. Are they 2pc? If so , it is a '56 fender. '55 fenders have 1pc. spears and are below the beltline.

Re: Spotters's Guide enjoy TF guys

I found Thom Taylor's email and asked him if he did others and said no. He did say he was going to do some more spotters guides in Street Rodder mag soon.
