what type king pins were used on the 54 Chevy 3100s? Are they the floating type?

Depends on the size of the truck.

That information is in the Shop Manual?

1/2 tons have floating bushings that do not have to be reamed; and, larger trucks have press-fit bushings that have to be reamed.

Here is how it is assembled. This is an online copy of the 1954 manual. Look at the bottom right of the page. 1954 manual instructions
