OK - so I missed your earlier post somehow but caught this one. I am not entirely sure I have a 57-59 one or not - somehow I ended up with 3 of the 55-56 ones which are rarer to find than the one you need, but I can only place having two of the 57-59's and I have two trucks that need both of those. I have spoke to a friend who recently found me another one, and he is supposed to be pulling that one soon to send to me. Can't remember if he said it was a 55-56 or 57-59 but I am thinking there may not be a shaft length difference at all, and maybe its only a shift arm difference - if that was the case, you could simply change out the shifter arm. I will lay one of each side by side and see if I can tell what the difference is and let you know when I get this next one coming.

So are you trying to go all original with your truck? there's a lot more to a factory automatic than just the column
