I'm gonna need to get books and manuals for Spot II. Spot's a 1956 6500 Chevy Flatbed. What manuals are available and from who? I've seen a lot of 1/2 ton manuals but are big truck manuals available? I'd also like to find some paint chips for the right colors. That brings up another question. On Spot the truck is green but the inside was repaintd badly with gray paint. Was the inside cab gray or the truck color?
Thank you,
Dave

the 55-59 truck shop manual covers all sizes of trucks for everything, available from all repro suppliers - for body colors \'select domestic here\' pick "Chev truck", next page pick closest year [57], you'll get paint chips for body colors, but no one has a paint chip for interior, which was light gray w/ dark gray steering column, dash top, and floor including the steps - no body color inside

Thank You. I'm lining up all of the manuals I'll need. I'm also going to get up a wish list of parts so I can plan out this restoration.
