All the data points to a 272, which was available, according to the info in the charts. Thanks for the heads up.

Have you identified by the components CASTING ID NOS as to exactly what you have?
The 54-55 had a cross-drilled cam whereas the valve-train receives oil only at certain cam positions (ninety degrees).
It seems that FORD began with a 272 bottom end and a 239-256 top end towards end of 1955 production. But a truck 272 is not cataloged for 1955 truck.
