Hi...the 59s used different bumpers, depending on whether it was a
stepside or a fleetside (wide bed). The fleetside bumpers are hard to
find and expensive, so, like most guys, I have step bumpers on both of
my 59 Chevy fleetsides. The stepside bumpers are available repro, they
fit 55-66, so there's a big market for them, and a big market means it's
worth it to reproduce a part.
The AD (47-55) and TF (55-59) steering boxes are different...sorry!
Also, the TF boxes were different from 56 to 57, they length changed to
accomodate the dished wheel introduced on the 57 truck.
