geez, ask for the moon!
there's not that many fuses on the original panel [only 7], and some of those weren't options for the truck most 5-9 years [AC, clock, spot]
note that there's 'accy' fuses [3] with a total of 7 terminals, no doubt all small stuff like hood light went to a single fuse

Heater [delux] 9amp
Fogs 14amp
Backup isn't specified, small, like 3-7 amp
others??

well, it's a start

The Owners Manual for a 56 lists 9 fuses. Ed

only 7 of which are on the fuse panel
but good find on the values, need to carry a spare pack of 9amp's

Thanks,
Next question
I guess you guys knew this was coming!
Where can you get this type/size fuse?
Look at the local auto parts chain stores
10amp 15amp 20amp and 30 amp all they had
Thanks again for the information!

yes, it doesn't hurt to have slightly higher ratings, if a fuse blows there's a major problem that'll usually be drawing the max, like a short!

but look around, maybe a radio shack or such, other sizes are around
