The '54 water pump will not fit the '58 block, so you've got to get the custom short-shaft. You will also need a '55-62 fan or an electric unit.
The motor mounts on the side of the engine blocks are different. I think your truck's '54 engine is held in with the front timing plate mount. If the timing plate is different on the '58, just use the '54 timing plate and cover.
Good luck
