Is this a 1950-51 Ford rear End in my shoebox?

    Hi folks, Just to make sure before I get someone to sell me a 3rd member form an automatic with the 3.31 gears in it. I need to make sure this is the same rear end my car might have come with. here are the pics, and believe me, I've removed a bunch of the mud form it already!!

    Looks like a stock rear to me.

    Sweet, That's a good sign, Thanks guys. I'll do the ratio test today to see what ratio is seems to be.

  8. This is what someone stuffed under the back of my coupe:rolleyes: It's coming out...

    I'll check the ratio.
     
  9. Ratio is 3.54:1
     
  10. Ozzie, just wondering, is this the shoebox you bought from 5051?

    Thanks 30dodgeboy, I'm trying to get something in the low 3's.
    Tomorrow, I am going to look in a junkyard to see if there is a late 70's Granada rear for a cheap price. The automatics have gearing in the high 2's.


    Dreadman, I never ended up buying the suicide 49 from 5051. I couldn't afford it at the time, but I wish I would have known of his $7500 convertible that he sold at the HambChop 06.
