very close to what my C30 turns with 4.10s and a shorter tire

but i think with 4.10s or 3.73s you should be ok as well
It is a 78 K30 crew cab, not the military variety. Still surprised that low of gears in a civilian truck, but I guess that is what the Original owner wanted. I think I will re-gear it to 3.73. Now, just to figure out what brand of gears to go with, seems to be quite of a variety.
