1923-25 vs earlier roadster body difference

Is there a good reference to learn the differences in body style from year to year?
I tried searching here and google. Didn't find anything definitive.

Obviously the cowls and firewalls are different, are there width/height/length differences? Can a 23 be identified easily as different from the early bodies without the cowl?

I'm going to look at a pile of T parts and want to be able to tell what I'm looking at.
 
All 23s-24s & 25s have slant windshields 23s have both high and low hoods and radiators.
Low radiators will have a thin radiator apron with the crank under it high has a deeper apron with the crank going through it. All will have 30"X3 1/2" tires some late 25s have 21" with split rims. I hope that will help you. A good reference have lang send you his catalog.www.modeltford.com
 
These are '24-'25 and early '23. The trunk sweeps up to the body. Earlier ones didn't have the sweep. The irons for the top mounting were different too. Early ones had a vertical bar extending to the seat frame.
