Wheelbase is actually 137"
If you have 5 and 10 lug wheels it is a model 4100 1.5 ton. If they are 8 lug it is a 1 ton.
What do you have?

0322557 - subtract 1001 making this the 321556th made of these trucks. I don't know actual construction numbers for 1954 but that number seems high.

The 'F' doesn't match any models that I can identify and the serialization may have too many characters. Is that number on the serial number plate in the driver's door opening?

The hood, fenders, and grill are larger than the 1/2, 3/4, and 1 ton trucks. What you have is the same as on a 2 ton.
