Ben, I'm no authority but I would say yes. Post this on the Trad History/Collecting Forum and guys there will tell you for sure.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Ben,

 The 56" Grizzlies were only manufactured 1968-70. I'm guessing your 58" Grizzly is a 1964 with that serial number. Is it zebrawood?

Rick,

Just a lucky guess.

Ben,

 The Grizzlies were 62" AMO 1949-63.

 
 

The 64-67 were 58" AMO, 68-70- 56" AMO 71-present back to 58"

Ben,

 I am too. That is why I need to have one from each year to use as a reference.
