Default Re: '54 Ford rear axle into '51 Ford ?

My Hollander shows them to be the same through early 55 unless there is relation to station wagon from 49 to 51 or station wagon, sedan delivery, T-bird, or police from 52 to early 55. The Ford car parts catalog shows different flange sizes on some rear axles. Any of the Fords or Mercury cars that had Dana 41 or 44 would be different but the removable third member types are interchangeable as listed. It has a note that the late 55 through 56 Ford will work with the early 55 so there must have been a change in there somewhere. The Mercs use the Ford type rear axle from 52 thru 54 as long as they aren't a station wagon. Hollander interchange group 11 Complete rear axles No. 486 as reference.
