Re: 65 c20 axle swap

You need to find out what the gear ratio is on that 1985 rear axle. Most of the large 14 bolt rears have low gears (oftentimes, 4.10s) in them, which is not good for freeway cruising.

You've got a 700R4, which is a great thing. You could get away with a 3.73 gear, which you may be able to easily find in the 14 bolt. A 3.55 would be even better. Do you plan on towing with this truck?
