It's way too tall to stay in O/D on hills and puts most vehicles below the power band.

69 C10. I plan to use it as a daily driver but want the "look" and potential for serious (not hardcore) offroad and towing.
It currently has stock axles (3:08), but I have aquired a set of axles (dana 60ft/14FF rear) from a military M1009 (84-87 Chevy P/U). I think it has lockers and 4:56 gears?
I expect 33 inch tires are as big as I will go with a mild 2-4 inch lift. I have been talking with Gear Vendors and am sold on that route vs the automatic. They quoted e $2900.
So the question is: What gears I want in the end if I'm running a torquey, injected 383/SM465/ and GV w/33inch tires?
Anybody know offhand how much the GV "overdrives" the gears?
