Are you sitting down?

6.56

Haven't measured to see what else might fit. Lots of Dually trucks being parted out, and many of the later Chevy's have 4.10 rear. That would be perfect. I would have to have the axles drilled for my original wheels, as I don't want to give them up.

Really needed that gear to get moving with the flathead six. Darn sure don't need it with the Chebby motor. Unladen, I am starting out in 3rd. My 5 speed is NOT an OD unit. But, if I run across a deal on an OD trans, I would swap it out in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the help on the tach. I found an old thread where I posted that I had used a Super Tach II with an HEI back in the 70's. Doh!!!

At least I know what to look for.
