Maybe no model company makes the truck because Ford did not make one either. Starting in 1953, the F-Series designations changed from F1 and up to F100 and up.
I think F8 was about the largest model so that would equate to F900 starting in 1953.
See if you have better luck searching the model makers inventory with that number.
