1948 Dodge Rearend Idenification.

[mrtillie]

I have a couple of pics of my dodge center section. Can anyone tell me what it is? I thought it might be a early 8.3/4 but it has 12 bolts in it.

Just out of curiosity,why have you removed it?

 

Are you looking for rears that will interchange,or parts to repair that one?

surely somewhere on that hoghead is a casting  number......

What are the cast in numbers and stamped numbers on the driver side-middle or on near the top of the third member cast housing (hogs head), not shown in previous pictures??

I agree about posting any numbers you may find. I also have a 1948 Dodge D25 Special Deluxe Club Coupe. If it is any help, the gear ratio in my car is a 3.9. Contact me if you need any help or advice on the car. Mine was once in pieces as well. It looks like you have a great project. Hope you are going to keep it stock!

On my trucks, the number is here

Do you know if the Special Deluxe nameplate is the same as a Plymouth? Or if not can you post a close up? He was looking for some in the wanted section but we didn't know if they were the same as a P15.

mrtillie-

I really meant to ask about the passengers side location of the third member for the numbers, that is where I found them on four Car rear ends that I have had. They were in the same location I mentioned in the previous (opposite side-drivers).  A forum member from Australia also found the numbers located there.

Yes, they are the same.

I have been working on the car and didnt check this posting, I will look again for any markings or # on the center section.

Im stripping the car out and cleaning up some rust issues under the car. Im down to a shell now. Ordered floor pans and sills to install. I did the brakes a couple of years ago and the rearend is in good working condition.
