  46163/556* = LINE # 556 – THE LAST DC-8 BUILT BY DOUGLAS
  55AB**
  = When Douglas made the DC-8F-54, DC-8F-55 & DC-8-55 models they were able
  to push the aft bulkhead further back into the tail and thus increase the cargo
  and/or passenger capacity. The Passanger Versions of the DC-8-55 (and two DC-8-53s)
  were made in two variants to accomodate airline requests. The first variant left
  the aft bulkhead location & interior the same as in earlier DC-8 variants
  and was designated by Douglas as the ‘L’ for "less aft bulkhead." This
  variant was ordered by Garuda, Japan Air Lines & KLM. The second variant included
  the relocation of the aft bulkhead further back & thus increased the interior
  size which accomodated up to 189 passengers (up from 179). This variant was designated
  by Douglas as the ‘AB’ for "aft bulkhead" (extension) and was ordered
  by SAS (DC-8-55) & VIASA (DC-8-53). If you would like to see a Complete List
  of Technical Information for All DC-8 Variants Please Click on the ‘DC-8 Technical
  Information’ Link on my Home Page.
