Identify her rear end

Can anyone tell me if this is a Ford or Dana by looking at the picture? It is a 1950 f1, finally found the thumping, left rear wheel bearing. I need to order one tomorrow, I got the axle out, very easy, I have seen worse. thanks in advance. http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/z...psfaaf6bda.jpg[/IMG][/url]

I wouldn't order it until you check with NAPA, it's a real common bearing and seal.

Thanks, Tinman. I had nothing to compare it to. I did find out what that big hole in the axle flange was for.

Thanks Ross, Napa is where I'm headed in the morning. Our Napa store is a real hole in the wall but better than nothing. They may have it but I usually have to wait a day on just about everything.
