[oletrucks] 59 (?) Rear end

["G. Simmons" <gls@4link.net>]

I found a rear end in the old junkyard today which has me puzzled.  It is
six lug, marked 59 chev and looks like that's what it is.  When I spin the
yoke, the axle revolves just over 2 times.  Was there a
2-point-something-to-1 rear end in 59?  If so, what engine / tranny did it
take?

If not, what the heck could it be?
