Nathan - According to what I could find through my resources, 1959 was the first year where a 1/2 ton Positraction option was listed in dealer documents. This one originally dated September 1958 for 1959 Chevrolet Pickups on the last page (screenshot below) shows that listing. No idea if it would fit earlier 1955.2-58 rear axle housings???
