My 72 C30 has 4.11's which the PO swapped in place of the 4.56s. From what I understand the center section of the HO72 and 52 axles is the same so all you would need is just that. With a 4 speed, the creeper gear still gives you more than enough low end gearing.

I looked into gear vendors in the past, on another truck project they are quite pricey. Somewhere around 3k if i remember.

The price of this truck sounds more than reasonable if its that nice. Even at 4k, still a good price if its good and roadworthy which it sounds like it is being reliable to pull a trailer a good distance. If you pass let me know.
