Open driveshaft in 1955-1st.
H55 as the first three characters on the door hinge pillar plate for 1955-1st; H54 for 1954.

Sorry. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 2 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 2 | I thought I knew all the differences but I just bought a Ist series 55 Napco 3/4 ton with the proper pillar plate and the correct badges but its titled as a 54. BTW my 55ist 1/2 ton has electric wipers ....this is confusing!!
