Re: 3.73 or 3.42

You don't mention the engine that you have but if you're going to use it mainly for cruising and light towing I'd go with the 3.42.

My 69 had a 350/350 with a 3.08 rear axle and it did fairly well on light towing. On a few occasions I towed over 4K lbs on a 16 foot trailer (flat country mostly) with no problems.
