Mid '54 vs Late '55 body differences

[Loren L.]

I am aware of the '55 adjusted psgr inner fender as a difference; what else is there? I would appreciate as much detail as possible - I'm chasing a car's history. Thanks.

Fuel pump frame area
engine mounts location holes
left side dash area one hole (for light switch)
trans tunnel forward holes and under guard plate
steering box spacer & arm
Radiator shroud holes in front frame & support holes
drive shaft
hood
Fire wall holes
I know I'm missing more but?

Roy has provided a good list, as usual. In addition to the obvious engine and radiator differences, I'd add that (1) there are holes in the '55 front fender for attachment of the "V" in the "Chevrolet" script, (2) the hole in the underbody for the ground wire for the radio (underneath the passenger door) on a '55 apparently consists of a slit for the wire, versus a hole with a small cover, (3) the '55 dash-mounted rearview mirror has a screw knob, (4) a late '55 might have holes on the drivers side fender well for attachment of the washer bag, versus the bottle.
