all the tag says is 3.22, im guessing its ratio
The earliest style tag I have found in my search is used mainly on 57/58 Fords and all the tag has on it is the RATIO nothing else. So far its a 57/58 rearend. Hope this help somewhat. Cole
i had a diff out of a chevy. from the same vintage had one hell of a time identifying it. the closest thing that it resembles to me if i squint hard at the screen is a toyota 8". but as far as i know they dont use a fill plug on the 3rd i always see it on the housing on the back it was worth a shot i guess

Look under the 1949 to 59 Ford "Big Cars" That looks real similar to a diff I had in my shop. The only way I could ID it was to get all the Brg numbers and match it up but I really never got a "model" figured out,I just got the Brg's I needed. If your needing some hard parts you may be in for a hard time finding them.
That web site is a PAIN to find anything,but its the best one I've found so far.Try searching with key words and then you will need to match up your Brg numbers.

looks like a 56 oldsmobile to me? 
, not a ford 9 in, they used to use the olds rearends in racing before the ford 9 in came out, I took one out of a customer streetrod last spring as it was improperly narrowed and replaced it with a 9 in ford. Are there any olds fans out there?

Look on your third member and see if you can read any numbers. I have a housing here at work and the case numbers are:
WAD4025A : Located in between the third member mounting bolt holes top passenger side.
6-52: Located in between the top 2 web's on the drivers side of the third member housing. Mine also has a small tag with no model ID but with 3.78 ratio marked. This one turned out to be a real odd ball diff.

sure looks like a common 9" to me
perfectly round shape and all.
hmm..
why is it not a 9" ?
looks identical to the ones stuck under our 69 fairlane 4 link and the 54 ford pickup also.
hmm
57 fairlane 9" 3.22 ratio:

good luck!With its rugged semi-floating axles, the ever-durable Ford 9-inch hypoid differential came with several different gear ratios depending upon the engine choice. With the straight-six/Ford-O-Matic combo, the gear ratio is 3.22:1, the 3-speed manual had a 3.89:1 ratio, and the 3-speed with overdrive used a 4.11:1 ratio.
Not a 9 inch! There is no pinion support.fast68 said:sure looks like a common 9" to me

Try posting this question over at the H.A.M.B. forum (Hokey Arse Message Board). This site is nothing but 1920's-1950's rodders, and they know all of this oddball stuff.
