Difference between 55-7 and 58-59 on 1/2 tons is the frame horns past the front axle are 2.5 inches longer. So you could use a 58 on a 55 and trim down the rail ends, but would have to extend the rails to go from 55 to 58 or 59.
This may also apply to 1 tons of the same years.

Thanks for the info...........
