Re: '55.2 to '59 Frame...issues?
Well look at that, after more surfing I found the same discussion as above, figured I'd post the links here for anybody else surfing these pages in the future.

Re: '55.2 to '59 Frame...issues?
check the diagrams for the different ywar and i thnk you will find the face of dash to axle centre line is the same. the spring mount is the same but the rad suppoert location is different and the frame is a bit longer out front. I found out when putting a 57 onto a 58 frame. these frames are just basically a trimmed section of channel with a taper at the front and a bump over thwe axle. it is easily buildable if yoy wanted to.you need a good readable copy of the diagram from the assembly manual.

Re: '55.2 to '59 Frame...issues?
The different length is only in the front frame rails. The 58-59 are longer, changed with the quad light front end.
