1/2 tons? As above.

3600 and above have open drive-lines in 1954 and 1955-1st.

Sorry. I was thinking of the 1/2 tons. So. If a person was lucky enough to find a 55.1 rear - it would be a 'no weld' simple replacement for a 47-53 rear and give the open driveline.

If you have the springs to go with it, it will bolt right up. The springs on your truck have the mounting hole too far forward.

I need to ask a friend about the rear out of a 55.1 GMC 1/2 ton. Maybe he will have it for sale.
