Try this I am building a 1936 Pontiac. While looking for a rear end that would fit,I noticed that the third member that I had had in my 54 GMC looked the same. I used the original Pontiac axle housing and axles and the third member bolted right in. All I had to change was the axle gears. This means that any 1/2 ton 55 thru 59 third member would work. Maybe this will help. Joe
