    Wrong cover for 44, but close, try studebaker, had a friend with one in San Diego w/ Airhart discs. The old Fiberglass Trends "T Time" roadster.
    Jeep, Studebaker, Kaiser Dana 41 I think

    I vote for Dana/Spicer also, but don't know what model #. Looks like an oldie. To my knowledge, the integral carrier axles were mostly, if not all, Spicer (Dana). They had a whole range of them, 25, 27, 30, 35, 41, 44 etc. Some were available with rear drive and front drive wth steering knuckles.

    Looks like a '49-'51 Merc rear. Not sure what series Dana.

    Yep, also the U-joint looks like early (pre '57?) Ford style.

    yeah, 5.5, and looks preety much just like that. So Dana 41? Maybe off a Merc? I still want to rebuild the brakes and cylindrs, hopefully that won't be to hard.
