Click on the year listing:1928-1966, then go down to first listing for 1953-1955 You will find that your R truck was probably built in was probably built very late 1953 Say in Oct. and probably was not sold for well over a year. Have you looked on your frame(drivers side) in front of the steering box, perhaps by the front spring hanger and located your Chassis number? Did you get a LST for this truck? Can you post up some pictures? Hope this does not confuse you more.
