I replaced a leaking axle seal in my '54 Customline yesterday. Stock rearend. I used SKF 13865 bought at NAPA auto parts. Just be aware, SKF is the bottom of the barrel in quality but, it works. The metal case is only on one side (the axle side is open). Tap it in carefully. You don't want to bend it. Or, spend a few bucks more and get a National or other quality brand with a closed metal case on both sides. Use the SKF part # to cross reference at the parts store.
