Oddly enough the 22.5's for Ford came out in 55 I have 3 sitting here in the yard.
I wondered about the air set up but i didn't see either a hand valve or trailer brake charge valve in the cab but the under pictures show brake line sat the rear axle, I didn't think the 332 was factory either but wanted to see what you guys thought.
Tom you don't happen to have that 5th over yet do you.

22.5s don't belong on there either, do they?

A C600 would not originally had the "Lincoln" big block, but rather the smaller Y block. My '53 C750 that I owned for over 40 years had air over hydraulic brakes. I towed my '47 Fruehauf SS van trailer with air brakes with the truck. The combo worked great. Originally a 317, I replaced it with a 4bbl 332, removed the 5th over 5 spd, put in a 5th direct and a 5831 brownie. The changes made a different truck out of it. One of the nicest driving trucks I have driven. For some reason the '68 N750 I have today just doesn't match it. Not that many years ago I sold the 750 for 12K in near perfect condition.

The tractor which does appear to be a 2N is painted 8N colors.

Geoff and Hamish have it nailed!! Air over hydraulic brakes to tow a trailer and repowered by the Y block 332.

I would think the 332 V8 wasn't the original engine either-more likely to have a 272 Y-Block in a 1956 C600 from new. The 332 truck V8 that was offered in F700 and larger Ford trucks from 1956-c.1963 was based on the Lincoln 317-341-368 V8s. There was also the 332 FE V8 introduced 1958, but I think this was only offered in passenger cars, but I stand to be corrected.

I can't see enough to know if it is air braked or air assisted hyd brake. A lot of truck left the factory with a hydrovac that got replaced with an air-pac to pull air braked trailers. Air-pac replaces hydrovac and gives a signal to the "blue: line on the trailer as well as boost to the hyd system. 
 Edit, yeah, i didn't see all the pic's and it does have a suspended pedal treadle valve. Still could be air over hyd just done different, or could be all air,
 I don't know about Ford, but IHC K-7's could have full air brakes, although most didn't.
2nd edit:
If you look at the pic of the firewall where the treadle valve is mounted, it was definitely not a factory install, bolt come through partly on a firewall "rib" and washer are at an angle. Someone cut the hole and mounted the valve. 
 I guess I should look more before responding!

Something a little off about this one
Claims to be  a 332 and air assist brakes,it does have an air comp and a foot valve, did ford put something like this together, this is just a 2 ton series truck.
