On the Shasta that I parted out, the wings were mounted flush to the body and had wood cores. The drip rail was left out of that 9 inch area. On my Shasta, the drip rail is solid through the area where the wings are mounted. I'm assuming that there must be spacers of some sort required. This is one of those small details which could help determine year of build, would it not?

There are rubber spacers that ride behind the wings on your model.
I believe that Shasta ditched the the wooden wing around 1960 and went to the all aluminum one. So a model that has a solid drip rail molding used a all aluminum wing with rubber spacers to clear the full drip rail.

Wonderful. This is just the sort of detail that I have spoken about in determining the year. At least now I can call mine a 60 plus.

I was wondering why they would need spacers and now I know!

My Shasta is a 65 on the title and 64 on the sink, my drip rail is cut out where the wings go.

What I have learned about the wings matches what Brian has already said. ANother item that might help you would be the front skin. Not sure what year(might have been around 64, the year I have) they started notching the front skin from the frame rails. in the very early 60's and late 50's I think they cut the skin at an angle from the top of the frame rail to the front corner of the camper (no notches)

frank I think I was wrong in the year of the notch front skin... I think it was the same time as the wing change so it probably wont help nail the year down
