1952-59 Ford Rear End For Sale

Anyone need a good stock rear end? 56 Ranch Wagon with 312 auto...was running in the car...no big leaks or hitchs in the gears...backing plate to backing plate...or with OEM FoMoCo drums and relatively new brake job...located in SoCal...$250 or make an offer if you want it...

 

Is the gear ratio tag on it ? This would be a good beefier upgrade for guys with a 1952-56 standard rear as this is the Dana 41 cousin to the Dana 44. From what I could look up ratio should be a 3:54 so better for cruising than the 3:90 or 4:10's.

 

Jeff would this be a good choice for a 1955 Ford Fairlane with a 302/C4

Sorry - no tag - just a '44' casting mark on the housing.

 

Anyone on the right coast want a '54 Ranch Wagon rear end for 50 bucks? HRP

 

Probably a 3.31 if it's a automatic rear.

 

Yes it would,stronger than the standard 1949-56 car rear ends. Those had a rear gear slightly under 8" the Dana 44 rear has a 8.5 inch ring gear. It appears that this particular rear end is actually a better Dana 44 from the stamping and not the 41 used in early Ford Trucks. The rear end cover should look like the one shown below.

 

H ere is a chart to verify.

 

Cover plate match the one above ? If so then it's a good rear.

Thanks Jeff.

It's a 19 spline Dana 44. Im pretty sure that was the only rear offered in wagons for 55-56.

 

yes...44. Thanks. Anyone need it? I'm listing on ebay...but I don't think it will ship priority mail!

 

Will you be available this weekend?

Thank you! Glad it went to a member! Good luck with your project!

 

Do you still have it .

 

See Post # 19 You were too late. A lot of Jeeps use the Dana 44 rears too and have the same bolt pattern as a Ford look for some of these as a possible donor. (remember that the 1952-56 rear ends were 57" wide. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/jeep-non-********/573279-axle-widths.html

 

"Rear End For Sale"

Kinda sounds like a booty call.

 

Check craigslist. I believe there's accouple of maverick rear ends in your area that mostly work for 50s fords.

 

Maverick rear ends are extremely hard to find around here.
