Either you have a transmission with a big drum on the back, or cables running to the rear wheel backing plates.

You can easily look this kind of thing up. The answers for 1959 are found here. 1955 1st GMC Suburban \| 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project \| 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic \| 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE \| and more... It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
