But even going by the prior post, 4.56 is a lot closer to 4.41 than 4.10. And going by the C/10s I've had with 4.10s I don't recall the RPMs running that high.

I'd go the simple route and put a 3.08 rear in. You lose the grunt gearing but you still have granny, if having a low gear still matters. You come close to the same numbers from going with O/D as you do going from 4.56 turns to one vs 3.08 turns to one. Divide 3 into 4.56 and you get 1.52. Take 1.52 from 4.56 and you get 3.04, virtually the same as 3.08s.
I thought about it being 4.56 too, as you're right it's much closer to 4.41, but didn't realize it was a factory option so I went with 4.10/4.11 since I figured it was likely to be stock gearing of some kind.
