I just bought a 53 6500 and I can't remove the panels in the cab because the bolts are a type I have never seen before. If anybody can tell me what kind of tool I need to order and where I can get, if there even is one, that would be great.

welcome to the garage N. - you've found the right place for that particular problem - it's a standard old GM fastener called clutch head - most vendors have the screwdrivers/bits, including NAPA and Snap-on

By the way those things are hardened, don't bother trying to drill them out. Check out the Tech Tip on Clutch Head Bolts

But, heating them up with a torch will loosen the rust bond and make them much easier to remove.

Thanks everyone, also I found out that the engine is shot, and I have a 350 SBC that would bolt up to the trans. Anyone have any advice?
