I think the stampings are the same, however there are some detail changes--brake pedal mount for example. The 55 bolted on with 3 bolts slightly to right of steering column and while the holes are still there, on my 56 the "ears" or mounts were welded in different locations-one in the approx same place and the other on the side of air vent opening so the pedal pivot crosses the opening. IIRC, there was one other different welded mount I found.

These were noted when I followed the instructions (55 AC dealer install) with the template dimensions and moved a factory AC from a 55 parts car to 56. Everything bolted and templates fit exactly. Didn't find any other differences which makes me think stampings same.
