What was the rear end of a 1955 Ford 57-59?

All I know is that the 57-59 Ford rear end was a direct swap to my V-8 Pinto conversion. In 55, there were two different rears. The car (except station wagons) had the drop out center section and was a relatively low hp rear. The wagons and TBird with the rear loading rear had Dana 44’s, a much stronger rear.
