    For someone that knows more about rear ends than I.
    The casting number:
    3725899
    With a model number that is E223?
    From what I've read its maybe a 55-64 rear end?

    If someone could confirm or denie this that would be awesome!
    It won't let me get any pictures on here, but its a 10 bolt, with a plug in the back and a slight hump resembling that on a ford 9in. Any help would great! Thanks, Ethan

    It may be an Olds/Pont. rear. Are the axle tubes oval and tapered? Is the axle flange round and bolt holes wide and narrow (top and bottom width apart) ? A few more pix would be great, also roughly measure size of ham Olds/Pont is about 10+ inches.

    After re-reading your post Olds/Pont did not have a fill or drain plug in back. Chev 55-64 would be the next best guess.

    Ethan...casting number of the center section confirms that it is a 1955-64 Chevy drop out center rearend. Could have been out of a 1963 Impala or Nova. In looking at the pic...the top bracket and panhard bar mount location look like 1963 Impala..
