Looks like an Eaton but I can't find it in my Chassis rebuild manual and the restoration manual is no help. 4.57 ratio however 7/32. I went to NAPA to get a new gasket and all they had was a very thin piece of paper that fit...said Dana on the package!!!!!! This does not look like a Dana casting or cover (round)! This thing had a cork gasket on it but I can't seem to find a replacement cork gasket. Thought I would ID the rearend first.
