Re: Advice on the gear ratio for 350 vortec with TH350 -

Agree with a 3.08. That's what I have on my 69 and it was a decent street ratio and also had no trouble pulling an 18' trailer with a full size tractor and shredder (no tall hills).

As for the ratio on your truck, in some cases there's a number stamped on top of the passenger side axle tube. Years of grime may have covered it so use a wire brush to clean it if it's crudded up. I found removing the passenger side tire gave me a better view of the number on mine.
