If you happen to find a '55 or '56 Ford pumpkin that you want to use, make sure you get the axles that go with it. I know in '56 the splines on the axles have a different count than the '51 and I suspect that '55 is the same situation. The "56 axles are the same length as the '51 so the '56 axle/pumpkin combo will fit the '51 housing with no problem.
