Don't know about the late 50s but I noticed in my early 50s Factory Manual a couple of days ago, there was a dimentioned detail showing the exact location on the panel truck rear taillights. Maybe someone could look in a late 50s manual and see if there is the same type detial for the antenna hole size and location.
Good Luck
