      Almost all the parts are the same with a few exceptions for 49-54 passenger car rear end, including the carrier 3698950

        I know the passenger car has a torque tube but I was wondering if the main pinion back was the same. After looking a little more closely, I see that isn't likely. Could they have possibly used a wagon or truck differential? I find it hard to believe Chevrolet made up a special casting, especially on the early cars.
