I stacked them up side by side and the 59 1/2 ton is the same height as the 56 1-1/2 ton. The big truck radiator is 1" thicker and about 1.5 wide on both side. From a trial fit I know it mounts in the 1/2 ton radiator support using the stock holes. Maybe the taller one came from COE or even bigger truck??
