Send a Private Message to Mother.Trucker here on stovebolt. I believe he has at least the 3.55 R&P and possibly an installation kit. He's in Arizona but could ship to you.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

I have a brand new 3.55:1 rear ring set and an install kit. The kit does say through 1950. Not sure what the 1951 parts difference is. Send me a private message. Otherwise it is listed in the Parts for sale forum on this site.
Todd

93-512A is the install kit #. Listed 1941-1950.
Maybe someone can confirm the difference of kit 93-512B.
1951 the Driveshaft bushing & seal is different from 1950 and earlier. Others can confirm this?

Good luck.
