I am sorry that I can't add any information about a '59 truck, however, this question reminded me of something I read yesterday at the bottom of page 1 of my 1937 Chevrolet Shop Manual...

"List of Tool Equipment

Jack, Tire Pump, Screw Driver, Adjustable Wrench, Pliers, Hammer, End Wrench, Spark Plug Wrench, Lubrication Gun and Oil Can, Wheel Wrench and Starting Crank.

This Tool Equipment in All Cars and Trucks."

Wow!
