How do I identify the rearend in my bus? 1956 4400. I have a pic of it, but do not know what I am looking at as far as what kind it is and whether it is 2 speed or not. Can you help me identify it?

Single speed, picture's to small/fuzzy to tell much else.

Where else should i look to identify it? Yes, it's a terrible pic. I will try to get a better one this week. So it's a single speed? How does a 2 speed look different?

A 2 speed will have either a vacuum or electric shift box facing the front of the vehicle on the drivers side.

Look at the pictures in your shop manual, you'll see the 2 speed looks a lot larger on the front side.

Old Chevy Manuals should have a online version of the '56 shop manual you can view online
