It does not have a common name like a Dana 40 or a ford 9" or a Rockwell, or a GM 10 bolt.....
It's just a 51 1/2 ton rear as far as I know.

Try Patrick's, and the usual parts catalogs like Jim Carter's and Chevy Duty, or whoever they are now. | | |

The 3.55 conversion kits all come from Patrick\'s Antique Cars & Trucks . It is a a good idea to also buy the Ring & Pinion and the Ring & Pinion Installation Kit. The kit has all the bearings, bushings, clips, and gaskets that you really should replace. If you do not have a runout gauge available, Harbor Freight not has a dial indicator and magnetic gauge holder on sale. Page 15 of the Tool Disposal Notice catalog - good until 26 March | | |
