awesome penchal!

ls -ltr | grep "^d" | cut -c55-75

will work! Ill see if I can get what I want with dir without having to crep and cut as well

edit: On second though.. is there a way to just print everything from the 55 characters spot to the last character on the line? I think my variables with cut -c55-75 would include spaces tailed at the end? Im thinking tr could be used to do that.. but it would just make the command that much longer?
