Check out this photo...
It is a 55/56 Ford rear end from a sedan or passenger car. The "chunk" or "pumpkin" is unbolted from the front end of the car. It is similar in style to how a 9" Ford will have its gears simply unbolt from the housing, dry on the outside, unlike others that have a cover plate and all.
what I am looking for is this gear carrier/gear set for a 55/56 Ford housing as shown, but need it to be around 3.55 or so.
@dmsfrr - the reason for confusion is in that station wagons used the rear cover plate and were a different animal. I also believe the Tbirds used the same style rear end as well, but maybe it would take some of these Tbird guys to confirm that too. And then there was the police specials - i believe they had the station wagon style rear end also. Brakes a little bigger, more options for taller gearing, etc. i was always told they were a "beefier" version?
