Hi Jim,
Your right I was quoting the 3805...I wasn't paying attention. That got me
looking at my "1956 Specification Book" again and I found that my copy is
missing page 73 &74. This page more than likely is where models 3105 (1/2
ton panel) and 3106 (Suburban) were illustrated.
So now, does anybody have pages 73 & 74 for "1956 Specification Book"?
