The safety standard [on the NHTSA site I referenced] said it did but the 
parts book offers no clue on when AMC actually started doing it. The parts 
book specifically says to look to see if the standard is listed. My parts 
book covers 1967 and 1968 but the AMX isn't listed so a later printing may 
list starting body numbers for when this change happened. Anyone with a 
later parts book care to look it up?
