Earliest non-barndoor / Latest barndoor build dates and vin?

[Rusting Hulk]

Hi,
My bus is Feb 16th, chassis is 116070. Barndoor. What is yours?

Thanks Everett, that makes more sense with some of the non-barndoor vins I have been seeing.

No, it was near the end of February, 1955. The last Bus built in Feb., 1955 was 20-118226.

The last Barndoor was supposedly VIN # 20-117901. This very well could have been Feb. 28, 1955, depending on weekends/workdays/production schedules.

Does anyone know when the last barndoor was made and when the first non-barndoor was made? I thought the change happened in March of 1955 around the middle of the month. Did they make both types at the same time for a week or two or did they completely stop making the barndoor once the non-barndoor was being produced? Thanks for any info.
