Unlike modern VIN numbers, serial numbers on your truck do not offer much information on "what the truck came with".
H255K037187 decodes like this:
H is 3100 series
255 is "second series 1955" First series 1955 trucks look like 1954 trucks. Second series look like 1956.
K is "built in the Kansas City, Mo plant.
037187 is a sequential serial number. They started with 001001.
If the serial number had a V before the H the truck would have been equipped with a 265 inch V8, but lacking the V it had a 235 inch straight 6.
