Oldfarmall,
The 1959 50 Series trucks came standard with a 283 2v and had the 283 4v as an option. The 70 Series had the 283 4v standard and the 348 as optional and the 90 Series was only available with the 348.
The 50 Series was available with a Chevrolet SM-420 4-speed or the New Process 540C 5-speed or the Powermatic 6-speed Automatic. The 70 Series used the same as the 50 Series but added the Clark 267V 5-speed. The 90 Series used a Spicer 3152 5-speed or Spicer 3152A 5-speed or the Powermatic.
The brakes on a 50 Series could have been hydraulic with 7" or 9-1/2" Hydrovac or Air Over Hydraulic. The 70 & 90 Series trucks could have had the 9-1/2" hydrovac or Air Over Hydraulic or Full-Air.
The cab on the 59 LCF is the same as the 58, but different than the 55 (one year cab) and 56/57.
