55 frame question

I want to find another frame to build for my 55. Are the frames the same from 53 to 55 or 53 to 56?

53-56 frames are interchangeable The leaf spring length is different on the 56, but as long as you match the springs to the frame it will work.

Then any year 53-56 will work. Have you read the "can you ID this rear end" thread?
