How do I read the odometer on my truck?

At the top it says 02021 and the bottom it says 0962

the top is actual mileage
the bottom is the "trip" meter

2021 miles that good ....but..... the truck probably got a new ( set at zero ) meter when in was rebuilt in the early to mid fifties......or....a new one was installed a few years ago.

When I got my CCKW the speedo said 231 miles and the engine overhaul tag said it was installed at 200 miles( yup it wasn't even broken in yet)
But I know the truck has WAY more miles on it than that

Hope this helps

That seems most likely. The odometer looks old so I don't think it has been replaced recently. The more I look, the better shape this truck seems to be in.

Is there a way to reset the trip meter?

I think the little knob is under the lip of the dash ( unless it broke off )

Hope this helps
