The amazing part of this photo is how long did Cramer Wielding have a wielding truck at the nationals. I cannot at this time remember what his first name was, might have been Don, but I think that was another Hutch wielder? But that same green truck and the same year probably was present into late 70's anyway. I also noticed at the 50th annual nationals the Steffens Auto Repair wrecker was there. How many years did that same wrecker make the nationals. I was going to get a photo of it and forgot.
Also 57th quick timer is very uncharacteristic of Harold Leep or a Nance car.

The Brown Hound looks like a 5 window cut down to a 3 window.

The photo of Leep with the #57 was taken at Hutchinson in 1966. Merrick had stopped using the flypaper numbers to renumber the cars by where they timed in after 1962 and Leep timed in 28th quickest in 1966 so I'm not sure why the car had the #57 on it that year.
Roy Bryant drove Larry Torson's #11 in 1966 so maybe the duplicate numbers had something to do with it. Since Bryant had won the last three Nationals in a row, it would stand to reason that he would get first pick of car numbers in 1966. On the other hand, Leland Meyers of Dodge City had driven a #57 in 1965 but did not enter the 1966 Nationals so that number would have been available.

I'm so dumb most of the time. I knew they quit using the qualifying order for the numbers by then.

Was it from this body the ducktail supermodified body came from? As in the Jack Belk style super?
