Re: Stock rear gear ratio info

you are still off. 3.73 was not standard on all burbs.
The gear ratio depended on the engine, trans, and the size of truck (10/20/30) and also it depended on what rear axle it was equipped with.
in 2 wheel drive 1/2 tons, on the base model, either CE or CS trucks, the standard gear was 3.73. However, throw in an optional engine, or optional tranny, and that may not be the case.
Same for a C/20. The 4.57 was standard, but a 4.10 was included in certian engine/tranny combos.
You could opt for any of the avalible gear ratios, but sometimes you couldn't get that gear with certian engine or trans or even rear axle options.
