The Ford Barn

I took my 55 out for a drive on sunday and drove it for about 50 miles. It ran really nice but on the way back to the house,I started to hear a humming noise coming out of the rear end or differential. I don't really know what the noise is called,humming,howling,or what but the noise is there. Could it be the ring gear or pinion gear making that noise? Maybe worn out bearings.
Need some thoughts or opinions on this problem. I called around to see if any of the mechanics in town could repair the differential for me but none of them can.They do everything else,even tranny's but not the rear ends. Thats the problem of living in a small city. Anyway,If anyone can help with this problem,I would greatly appreciate it very much.
