The early axle shares many internal parts with Model A Fords, while the late axle shares many internal parts with 33-34 Fords.
The accepted fix for the rear axle wheel bearing surfaces is taking the rear axle apart and having the rear wheel bearing surfaces fixed by turning down the outer diameter and sleeving.

Thanks for the info. I was unaware of the differences in differential housing.It appears that my car has the round flange. I will take time time to see just how the rear differential come out and go from there I guess.
