55-56 share fenders, 57 is different around the grille area, GMC also has holes to mount the mustache parts and some dimpled spots in the area around the grill. Just info in case you're looking for parts. 58-59 have longer frames from the spring mounts forward and their rad support brackets are further forward, not sure about the GMC compared to check differences there. Some models were fleet versions that used leftover parts from previous years, like instead of 4 headlights they had 2 and a cheaper version of a grille, bumper etc.
Post up some pics of what you have to work with, you have us interested now.
