I am pretty sure that the 1929 has external brakes on the rear, where as 1930 and later had internal brake shoes. So it should be easy to make sure it is not a 1930 and later rear end. ( I have a several 1930 and several 1931 differential carriers which have casting number 357 388 on all of them which should equate to a 1932 diff carrier, but all are date stamped with 1930 and 1931 dates, and i have measured the 3 different drive shaft lengths to confirm which was which.) 1930 is listed in that chart as part number 362 718 , and 1931 as part number 363 076 , and 1932 casting number as 357 388, and part number as 363714.

Learning a little more each day..... Tim I'm going to try to find a 29 rear end and then sell off or give away the 1930 which doesn't fit. Tim

I don't know what two piece brake band means... couldn't tell. Looks in good shape and hopefully it will fit. Tim

It has a casting numer on the side 352297 and it has another number on the oppposite side which is stamped in, not cast 145830. Is this a 1929 for sure? I couln't find thse numbers under the Tech Talk forum. Tim Tim
