Re: 1959 got bigger brakes... since when?
Good points for anyone upgrading brakes. I suspect there was some standardization going on and the trucks were simply issued larger brakes. Cars received wider brakes because it reduced brake fade. It doesn't really improve stopping power. The truck weight bias is so heavily forward of centerline that rear brake improvements should be much lower on the list imo.
