That's a light duty, single vertical rib case, better versions have two vert ribs. Does it use 31 spline axles? You mentioned '57 rear end but that D2SW-C carrier support is 1972 at earliest.
The center was out of an 83 van, 31 spline. The rear axle housing is from a 57ish Ford, 28 spline axles. Gonna trade the 31 spline center for a 28 spline. Was the only one I was able to find after looking in 2 different pull yards.
Know of any cars with 31 spline axles same length as ours? I'd like to avoid having to buy Currie cut-to-fit axles, to save some bucks, if possible.
Finally picked up the housing, started removing rust with a gel. It's late, gonna prime,paint, clear tomorrow afternoon \m/
Not the best picture, only one I took time to take though, more later. Gonna grab a disk brake set up outta some crown vics in about a week or so, will update once done.
