No where on a 52 or 53 Chevy is a number that's labeled VIN. The body serial number is the only correct VIN. I know, I know most states used the engine # as the VIN until the late 50's. But neither number is a valid engine number. The H53 is a 53 1/2 ton serial/vin and the 20KP is a 52 1/2 ton serial/vin. I think red58 has hit on something.
Hey tangovino - does the title have 20KP... as the VIN? Either way the door tag correctly ID's the truck as a 53. Of course a lot can/does happen in 54-55 years.
