313300F54XA is the engine serial number, and it decodes as follows:

313300=build sequence #
F=Flint engine plant
54=model year
XA=regular production "Thriftmaster" 235 used in the 3600 series (3/4-ton) trucks.

That other number might be something the state stuck on the pink slip. It doesn't look like any type of Chevy number. 54PU probably stands for 1954 pick-up. No idea about the ZB.
