Wayne,

 

The Dodge 315 Hemi was also offered in slightly smaller trucks in 1959.

Just a note of historical interest.   While true the last year the early hemi was offered in passenger cars was the 392" in the '58 Chryslers and Imperials, with Dodge and DeSoto last offering early hemis in '57, the last year of the hemi in Dodge trucks was 1959 when the Chrysler 354" was employed one last time.

 

The following example would be a great addition to someone's collection.  I know, even mine, yes, I'd love to have it!
