BB 1/2 ton gears.
Parting out this burb and got to thinking about the rear end. Would this have a 3:07 rear with a 402/400 combo? And no I can't spin it over to count. I think the brakes are rusted in place.
I know the 3/4 tons usually got 3:54 gears.

Re: BB 1/2 ton gears.
3:07 was standard in big block trucks

Re: BB 1/2 ton gears.
Concur 3.07. And 3.73 and 4.10 were not options for the big blocks I believe - could probably be special ordered though (i.e. non-RPO order). The 3.54 ratio mentioned above was used on C20 and above with a big block (4.10 was optional in the C20 or above Longhorn I think). 3/4 ton or higher with a sbc got the 4.10 standard.
