hi all new to the forum thing but i can not find anything anywhere on this code. if someone could please help.

C3TA 4001 B 301
3 89 2HE

That is what i could make out of it anyway. i broke a bearing hauling some fire would and am not to mechainical with calipers and whatnot. hate to sound stupid, but ill risk it to get my answer. thanks to anyone who can help. its a 1960s something my friend couldnt even tell me exactly. sorry for lack of info.oh yea its been turned into a trailer so no door plate.

 

Here is a site that has been very helpful for me when I was looking for a Donor axle, I picked up my 3.5 Ratio axle at the tear apart for about $70.

Ford Rear Axle Assembly Identification - Page 04 - FORDification.com

hope this helps.

Edit; Im not familiar with the numbering scheme for these axles but those numbers don't seem to match anything I can see?? are they the numbers on the metal tag thats attached to the front of the carrier housing on the drivers side of housing or on the axle tube itself??

Hopefully someone will be along that knows more about the 9" rears than myself.

 

Those aren't 9" numbers that I'm familiar with. C3 would appear to be a 63 part, and the ratio appears to be 3.89. Its possible you have a 3/4 ton rear or......

If all you need is a bearing, pull the pieces out (inner and outer race) and take them to bearing shop. They should be able to read the numbers you need that are stamped on the bearing.

edit: we're all stupid about something - stick around and you'll see me at my finest!

 

wow thanks for the wecome and fast replies.
it is the numbers off the metal tag attached by one of the diff bolts.
i would take pics but its 80 miles away at the inlaws house. i looked it up extensively but can find nothing. its in a small town the the auto people there are incompatent at best. where are the numbers located on the bearing , because all thats left are the outer race and the part thats pressed onto the axle. i hade a cord of red fir in it. mabe next time im down there ill pull the other side to find out. a pain because its outside by the road. i was hopeing to avoid that hehe. thanks again.

 

Did you ever figure out what kind of rear end???

 

This is an 11 year old post...not sure why the OP was concerned about a trailer axle to begin with though.
