I just pulled this from a 55 Bird. Not sure if it was the original assembly or not.
I was under the impression that they are Dana 45 assemblys. Using the smaller bearing , lighter duty axles than the big brother Dana 44. As you can see mine is marked with a "C" prior to the 44 casting. "C" for car application? Isnt yours from a truck dmsfrr? Someone on this Forum has a rear assembly out of a truck. Thought the "T" may have meant "truck" application. Oldmics |

Re: 1955 T-Bird rear end? I think the Dana 45 was used in the 1956 Mercury but it was a one year only deal. The 9-inch changed all that stuff except for the pickup trucks. They kept on using the Dana 44 for a long time.
