well today the 53 got going to its new home, and one of the rear axle got in my yard, one of the shaft in it was twisted but the gear where in good shape, also on the twisted shaft all off the wheel stud are bent, so that side did take a heavy hit, then i finished taking the front axle appart , striped it and found some marking on it, a serie of number 12-20-51 dont know what they mean but hey , they are in a strange place behind the front axle looking at the rear one, then i got all of the paint off the housing , i just need to sand blast a few spot and she will be ready for primer
