Would it fit my 1955 Chevrolet first series 3100 pickup with the standard 235 engine?? If not, can anyone tell me what is different?

The difference between the 47-53 trucks and your truck's front end is cosmetic.
1952 5-window - return to "as built" condition | 1950 3100 with a 235 and a T-5 transmission

I trust the info above regarding the radiator-mounting size/geometry not changing during that time.
However, the 1954 radiator supposedly had a "larger cooling capacity", most likely due to a larger radiator core and "exposed-area"?
