I'll look at the ones i have tomorrow and see if i can spot any differences, I have a 56, 65, 67, and i think a 61 or 2 on the 15 window. From memory i think the differences might be in where the seat latches are for the most part, I'll take some pics if i need to.

| My Jan '56 seems to have a crisper stamping overall......like the barndoors but not like the '59 busses. The outter ledge of the cargo floor also is thicker than the '58 panelbus I have here. The seat pockets and plates are setup for a six leg middle seat. |

Ok after looking this morning the 56 2 seat mounting tabs for the rear seat each side , the 65 21 only has one at the rearmost point on each side for the rear seat. Via a profile gauge the contures of the floor are the same. Both are set up for long middle seats, with 2 flat plates spaced between the hold down sections, Neither has latches or plates for a short middle seat. I can't see the floor on the 15 window but probably will later this afternoon. I checked a big hatch panel we're junking and it didn't show any latches for a middle seat at all. I'll try to tag and post the pics later today of the 3 floors io took pics of. Right now i got to get slaving. Later
