My '38 came with a 59AB too. Its common to find them with replacement engines. I like the 59AB as it give you some options if you are not trying to be completely "as built" stock. One of the big differences is the distributor is easier to work on than the older helmet style. Does yours have a double groove crank pulley? PS: Post some more photos of your truck.
