By mounting plate I'm assuming you mean the small plate that goes between the frame and cross sills? LMC lists different cross sills for 60-62 and 63-66. Does that mean that the plates you refer to are just attached in a different place? That would explain why the Brothers catalog lists the same part number for 54-72 sills and appears to sell the pads separate. Sure wish I could find a step side close-by to look at, but I think I'm figuring this out.
Thanks for taking the time to help, Tom
