what up with that?
Yes, the maroon one is a '55 based just on the grille, hood ornament and fender badge placement - You have learned Little Grasshopper!

I'm not THE expert by any means but as far as I know the 32000 means 3/4 ton. The problem with that is I don't know if 3/4 ton trucks ever came in short beds? Maybe they did (someone here will know) or maybe the guy just got a good deal on 3200 badges and doesn't know or doesn't care about the meaning.
