Thought I would tag onto an old post with a couple of relevant questions.
Did the '56 Clipper use a Dana 44 while the senior car got something else? Was it a Dana as well or something else.


1956 Packard models used a Dana 53 rear axle.

A Dana 53 is new to me, that means the axle is rated for 5300 lbs. Does that share guts with a 8.5" Dana 44 or is related to the Dana 60?

The 1956 Senior Packards were equipped with a Dana 53. The Juniors had the Dana 45, essentially a Dana 44.

The Dana/Spicer Model 53 is an automotive semi-float axle produced from 1947-1965, sometimes with a 53 differential and wheel ends and with a Dana 44 differential and Dana 53 wheel ends; also used in medium to heavy duty truck applications.
