With all the Swapping you have done...Have you done a COMPLETE SYSTEM BLEEDING....?

Start at Passenger rear and Bleed at least 1/2 qt of Fluid...Then go Drivers Rear, then Pass. Front then Driver Front...
When you are doing the Passenger Rear Bleed, you should bleed till you get GOOD CLEAN CLEAR Fluid....

Also, You might crack the lines at the Purportioning Valve.. And gravity bleed that a bit before doing full system bleed...

Is your 59 a Standard Cab...?

I just picked up a Super Cab 59...
