question Does anybody know this type of differential? Looks like a Dodge T214 one, but isn't

[Broccoli]

Hi all.

 

I was really happy to find a topic called "Maybe I'm stupid, but..." - because it really describes the feeling I have.

 

During the renovation of our WC51 we bought one spare complete differential. BUT we were VERY surprised - visually and dimensionally it is IDENTICAL as the T214 one, but the amount of teeth differs totally.

 

The half tone Dodge has the teeth ratio 4,88 / 1 - so most probably it has 8 teeth pinion / 39 teeth ring gear.

The T214 has the 5,38 / 1 = 6 pinion / 35 gear ring teeth

BUT the differential we bought has 10 teeh pinion and 43 teeth gear ring! ..so the ratio is 4,3/1 - so it is VERY fast.

 

This ratio differs a lot from both military types of Dodges we know. So we suppose it comes from some WC series predecessor - faster or smaller wheels one - maybe a VC series or a civilian Dodge pick up truck?

 

I am attaching a picture of our WC51 and a 1936 Pick we think our differential could come from. I will post a picture of the differential ASAP - it really LOOK IDENTICALLY as the T214 one.

 

SO - does anybody know it?

 

Thank you,

Frankie

Thank you very much for your offer, we have enough differentials now - we have bought another ones.

 

I just am wondering what could the one we have come from.
