The Ford Barn

I have a Dana 44 rear that I got when I bought my 39 ford coupe, the car was a drag car that went in the barn for many years and the farmer couldn't remember what the rear came from. I didn't use it just stored it for another project and now I want to use it and need to find out what its from. The wms to wms is 57", the brake shoes are 11"x 1 3/4", the bolt pattern is 5x 4 1/2", the spring pads are on the bottom of the axle and 41" ctr to ctr , the main leaf of the spring is 51" eye to eye, and 2" wide with 9 leaves. Does this sound like a 55 T bird rear? I tried to add pictures but I can't get them to load.
