Very cool.  I know very little about these 4 bolt cars, but I'll try to
stash that in my noggin.  Thanks for the breakdown!

The copy of Progressive Refinements I have doesn't go beyond 1968, so
the only documentation I could find on these changes was a listing for
the addition of the hump, which happened on 1967-04-26 (VIN 317 186 575)

Speaking of Progressive Refinements, does anyone know if there were
later versions of it?  1968 is the latest I've ever run across, but I
haven't really needed anything later, so I haven't actively looked.
