Production Figures '53-'56

Does any one know the approximate production figures for the F-350 express pick ups made in the 50's ('53-'56)? I have the total figures per year, but I am after the F-350 pick up figures. I have been told that they were in and around 355 for '55, but have not been able to confirm or negate this figure. I do not know where to look for these numbers, and Ford has not been able to help me either.

There's motorbooks international who make books on all types of cars on restoration, history and modifications.

Motor Manuals are what ferguson referring to, used in garages for labor and part removal/installation.

The same information is available in "Standard Catalog of Light-Duty Ford Trucks" by John Gunnell. It's available for around $20 on eBay and through various book stores.
