Thomas & Scott: I asked that question for my 59 and the answer I liked do you want to stop the roll in the corners. Shortly after that (I'll see if I can find the article Classic Truck) talked about improving your old truck ride w/sway bars. Convinced me!! Right after Christmas I am ordering a set for front and rear. Now remember I am staying with stock suspension, and this is a big improvement. Ben
