Jerry,
If you have all the 53 parts that bolt to the column those should be fine. That includes the upper shaft with shift arm, the connector, and the shift box under the hood. The rods from the shift box to the transmission should be the same from 56 through 59 (2 rods) as they do not use the bellcrank like the 55 and earlier 6 cyl applications. The 57-59 upper shaft is 4" shorter than the earlier trucks because they use a shorter column and a deep dish steering wheel.
I hope this helps, Fred
