1955 did not have the "V" on the hood emblem, that started in '56.
Both '55 and '56 V8 trucks had fender mounted "V8" emblems, while '57 just had a "V" on the door. Side V emblems were not used in 58/59.
Forgot to mention earlier, the '55 fender emblems have a white background and the '56 have a black background.
