I don't think the 4 bbl was available on the 1/2 ton trucks (I've never seen 
one though
that doesn't mean too much); maybe it was available on the larger trucks...if 
so, the
breather may or may not fit; it was definitely available on the cars.  I 
suggest that
you check the 55-56-57 Chevy club (Tri-Five?) which is big into reproducing 
parts for
those years...most everything is available for the cars.
