Differential
the old trucker:
Cranman here are a couple of pics of a diff that is supposed to belong to a 59 Dodge. It's three & a half hrs. east of me so I'll have to get a someone to size it up before I go there.
Let know what you think. It looks close to mine. If it's the same spline & bolt pattern... it should be good. Do you know what the ratio would be in a 1959 ??

Cranman:
Well it looks a bit like it but I never seen one with those bolt holes tapped in at the spline end. They might be ok for a brake mount. I suppose you'll have to get someone to pull the axles and send a pic of the spline. If it is after 1953 or so it likely has the finer axle spline and therefor of no use to you. AS to the ratio it is hard to say, you'd have to turn and count or take it out and look at the stamp.
dpaulson:
The diff I just removed has the same tapped holes. It has a 30 count splined axle.
the old trucker:
I have another question for someone to answer. I was told today that he has a couple of aluminum sprockets taken of a metal bomber.
I can only imagine that owner lost his diff & installed a woody diff & sprockets. If I am right I may have parts for my diff. Is there any way that the diff from a woody will fit on a metal bomber & have the sprockets line up with the wheels ??
OT ??? ???

I'm looking for the # of the seal that the hub fits into. The pic below shows what I am talking about. We are having trouble matching one up.
