Wow your right the truck could probably tell a story or two. As you say it carries a 54' serial number and engine number but that sure looks like a 53' cab? Here is a 54 cab for comparison. Notice the one piece windshield.

Does the dash look like this or is it the 47-53 style?



Hey no matter if an oddball or not it looks like a good find, we love oddballs here anyway!
