Yes ! It's a very heavy assembly but it's better than have two 
assemblies which are not very easy to take appart .. You'll have to 
remove speedo cable, trans. cable, hand brake cable and some wirings as 
neutral safety switch (and all the engine wirings + distr. cap). remove 
also the front end grille, it's easier.

No 392 in '59 !! Ther's some small differences in the frame: '58 & '59 
have longer rear leaf springs so the threaded holes in the frame are not 
in the same place. '59 have a 413 CI so the front support engine are 
different. Frames also are different between  4dr sedan and 2 dr HT (no 
"X" renforcement) and 4dr HT / 2 dr conv. ("X" member).
