Beware of ordering reprints from anywhere, including Faxon. The '54 truck shop manual reprint from them looked the same poor quality as the one from Classic Parts. Returned/refunded no problem, so that's good.

Went ahead and ordered an "original" not reprint, due to arrive next week. Cost twice as much though.
For anyone with a decent printer getting the manual on CD is starting to look like a great option.
