55 and later had the notch for the V8 fuel pump.
61-62 had a different exhaust hanger bracket
Strut rod bracket on 59 -62:

Look for the cross shaft bracket on manual cars:

The rear spring saddle support may have changed, 60-62 had a rear sway bar bracket. I think there are some other minor differences I am missing.
