Hy Libby007, welcome, the differential in your pictures is a Timken double reduction two speed, quite common in those years and up into the early fifties.

Thanks for the help, don't need any parts yet as far as I know, just wanted to know what I had. Inherited the truck from my grandfather who had it as a parts truck for his 46 1.5 ton, need to finish the brakes and i'll be putting a '58 235 in for an engine. It's going to be a dump truck when finished
