My best friend bought this truck new when he was 18 years old. Sadly he died earlier this year and his widow asked me if I wanted his truck.. Well, yeah! It will bring me great memories of Dr. Moffett to restore and drive. Their home on their ranch here in Texas burned in 1988 and the original title was lost in the fire. I have looked at online sources for ID'ing the truck. Thee is no tag inside the door but on the frame rail, drivers side just behind the front crossmember is an apparent VIN number----

1955 2nd Series (First of the "Task Force" trucks)
With the '55 2nd series came some more changes. The first symbol was the code for the Series of the truck (1/2-ton, 3/4-ton etc.) and the second symbol was a "2" for second series of '55 trucks. The 3rd and 4th symbols were the year, and then came the plant symbol. Last of course, was the sequence number (6 digits and started with 001001 at each plant).
Example -- H255J000101
