yea i think 3:08 and 3:73 are the most common ratios.

as far as if it's a good deal or not i'd be sure to take the cover off and make sure it's a limited-slip.

i've welded up a couple before but i've never seen a factory limited slip in a 1/2 ton truck.....it may be aftermarket.

actually i'm looking for one that is shorter than the factory rear by about 4-6 inches so i can use my 10" rallys with some 33x12-50's and tuck them.

maybe some other car or truck. i saw a swap kit on CCP's website with the weld-on mounting pads.

i know where to get a 3:73 12 bolt limited-slip from a 70-73 camaro. anybody know how wide these are?

i know it's gonna be a 5x4.75 pattern but i guess i could get 2 more rallys.
