Hey Pip, I did a little research, possibly on the HAMB, and someone suggested going on Advance Auto Parts and Auto Zone's websites to find other vehicles with front drums and wheel cylinders that are sized the same as ours. According to those sites, my '60 (and most likely your '58) have 1 & 1/16" front wheel cylinders and 7/8" rear cylinders.
The '67 F100 has the same size cylinders as ours. I just don't know if there is a way to adjust the pedal push rod for length. Does anyone know if they all screw in? Can you just cut the eye off (if it has one) and run a die down it to cut in threads and then just screw an extension onto it?
It looks like a '67 Chevy C10 might be a candidate with 1 & 1/8" fronts and 1" rears. I'm not sure how much of a difference those sizes will make.
Just adding this to keep the discussion going.
