I welcome all input! But yes, if I go out hunting a differential expert........he might not know right then what a 50 Ford had, but he might know about the differential itself. I'm saving any plans to replace the whole rearend, but I'm interested in that.

I'm going to go ask the machine shop guy, he's real smart. My thinking is: perhaps the ring and pinion could be okay and some bearings need replaced? I replaced the pinion seal when I got the car yard driving, also a speedi sleeve, but that's leaking again.

Been working on the car nearly two years, a little longer doesn't bother me too much. Thanks, everybody.
