VIN help '55 2nd - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a shot at buying a straight '55 2nd series truck. It has no engine or tranny, which is fine with me since I'm going to clip it anyway. At any rate, I'm having some problems with the VIN. The VIN on the title/pink slip is 436452F255X and the VIN tag on the "A" pillar is "H255K019554". I think the "55" is indicative of a 1955, but why are the numbers in different order (H255K and F255X)? Is this the same truck or has something been switched? I've heard that the only complete VIN is located on the engine which is long gone, but I haven't been able to verify that.
