Bugeyes up to 74 are the same. 1500s are different.
But the holes in the Bugeye pivot might be larger than disc brake cars 
because the rods changed size (got smaller) with the later baking plates 
(disc brake cars) but it's just a drill and larger clevis pin.
1/4 vs 5/16.
I know I used a later one on my 58 because the 58 was swept away with 
the rest of the rust. Maybe the holes are the same too. I forget my name 
these days ;)
