1955 Bel-Air differential ID numbers?

I have a rear end with this #A210 3725899 Gm-16. I would like to know if anyone knows what these numbers tell me about my rear-end.

welcome to Hotrodders.




I edited the thread title so the membership has an idea what your specific question on the 55 Bel Aire is

Those are only Casting ID numbers, they wont give you the Ratio or Carrier type.
Differentials: GM 55P - Drop out style rear end with no removable pinion support. Uses bolt in axles. Has 8.2 ring gear. Ring Gear Bolts: (10) 3 8 x 24 RH

Look on the passenger side axle Tube for stamped numbers. Wire brush or wheel will come in handy.
