Re: 1955 T-Bird rear end?
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 |

I don't think so. (but not much on this car would surprise me anymore)
Here's a link.... You might be thinking of miker98038's '55 T-Bird https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=260976 . Last edited by dmsfrr; 04-29-2019 at 04:50 PM. |
