I found a higher ratio rear end for my '56 Victoria from one of the members here on y-blocks forever. Doing some research to find out what my current ratio is (V-8 automatic as originally purchased) there was a statement made on another website that the '56 exclusively had fine spline for their axle shafts. I have never heard such a thing before. I made a call to a knowledgeable friend and he said that statement is "hogwash".
OK, guys. I know you know the answer. Does the '56 have different splines on their axles?

Early 55s had course splines and i think some later 55s had the fine splines the 56 axles were fine
.Jack i will count the splines on both for you in the next couple days,also will check the 4.11 splines Carl

A 56 with an automatic usually had a 3.31 rear ratio. Check the shop manual.
