Took a few more pics of interesting things on the Pat.

The rear-end gears are 43:15 giving the 2.87 rear end ratio.
Good gas mileage and a little more top end.
It has Twin Traction - note the "T" plate on rear axle. (although it is upside down )
It has a DANA 53 rear-end.
Also, scraping away some crud and grease reveals the differential cover was painted shiny black, not flat black???
The medallions are in nice condition.
And wonder of wonders it has the original C.M. Hall headlamps!
And they both work - high and low beam! If you click on the headlamp picture and then click on the +, you can just make out the lettering "HALL LAMP" on the bottom of the lens.
