I was told this was a good rule of thumb, yes or no? What gears do I have?
Chased Down fellow forum members truck the other day, thanks again Mike for all the great info...  |
You're welcome
As far as I know, all 64-66 with 6cyl/3sp have 3.73 gears. I've never seen one with anything else. Sometimes, you'll find a truck with factory 283 V8 and Powerglide automatic, and they might have 3.08's, but that is not so common.
