I got the originality guide. It is rather disappointing, unless you are really into decal placement. Things it doesn't cover: Radiator caps-I've seen they type that says "Water", and another with a lever attached. My '53 SA has a plain cap. Which is the right cap for the '53? Battery cables-is the ground cable a flat braided cable or a round one? How long are the respective positive and negative cables? Where does the ground attach? Wiring harness-is the OEM type with the cloth-covered wires and cloth loom available? Gauges- are IH-logo oil and amp gauges available? How about the hydraulic temp gauge? Many of the bolt holes in the chassis have corks in them. Is this they way they came or has somebody just used the corks to plug the holes while painting or to keep dirt out? Is the silver canvas seat cover available by itself, or do you have to buy the whole seat pan?
