53 trucks didn't have fuse boxes. That's why you can't read anything.

As Abe said, the '53s didn't have a fuse panel. They did have a couple of automatic circuit breakers. Automatic, as in they reset themselves when they cooled.
If the high-current situation persists, they will keep breaking and resetting. They work much like a mechanical turn-signal flasher.

I know this doesn't help at all with your question, but it's a little piece of Ford truck history.

fuse box

350
Hard to tell if those are ATC or AGC fuses, but ATC fuses were not used in any '53 vehicles. Looks to be an upgraded aftermarket panel.

Looks to be an 8 circuit panel .... start pulling fuses one at a time to determine what they go to, then label ya wires.

Great advice, but no reason to reply to this. It's a 3 year old thread where the OP hasn't been back since 2019, brought back to life by a loser forum troll posting illegal links.
