If it's a 3100 with a manual transmission, it would have the foot starter. 55-59 Task Force pickups with MT also have the foot starter.
Not sure about trucks with Hydramatic automatic transmission, introduced in 54-55. Other members who are familiar with Hydramatic models would know. I know my father's 59 Apache with Hydramatic had a starter w/solenoid operated by the ignition switch.
