Now we're talkin'! Putting a no-slip in an H052 4.56 3rd would be fantastic. Worth also changing the front D60 to 4.56s. I didn't play it up before because I thought finding one would be a hassle. A local one is potentially available, at that.
The 4.56s would make starting in an SM465's 2nd gear with 35s feel close to 285/75R16s. The 37s would feel like 35s. Great ratio for a future NV4500 conversion since the common 93up Chevy versions don't have as deep of a first gear (5.61) as the SM465 (6.55), yet would be better at standing stops in 1st than SM465s in 2nd. Syncho'd 1st, too. Not to mention an OD 5th that would work out well with 4.56s.
As I implied above, 4.56s would be the best you can do for any auto in front of an H052 except that 4.56s would produce higher highway rpms behind 3-speed autos which 35s or 37s would help mitigate. The challenge is 1st and 2nd with 37s, not 3rd.
Interesting dilemma!
BTW, a "work" truck has no business running 37s.
