Thanks for the nice comments guys, Ill pass them along to #3.
Smitty Im not sure what happened. Ive been wondering the same thing but I just don't know. I guess its possible it was put back together, but just as possible it was replaced entirely. There is evidence either way.
It is also a possibility that the structure was put back on, and the side panels replaced with new. Maybe obtained from the Wayne bus company, that style of body was still common in the 50s and replacement parts were probably still available. If do get to paint her this month maybe we can find an answer to this question under all that paint.
BTW here is shot of #3 at the farm in the late 50s. Note how straight the body is, as if it were new, or it has new sheet metal. Who knows?
