Default '57 rear end

Hey guys! I have a '57 9 in. rear end in my '56 Fairlane. So, how long did Ford make this style of housing w/the smooth rear center? Thanks in advance! F F

Through 59, same width, different pinion seal some time in 57, stayed the same throughout the 9" run.

You mean differing size axle bearing and seal?

What I have seen is 57 only. 58/59 they have 2 small dimples, one on each side about center line.
