I'm imagining the rear gears would be 410s which would make it like something 72.3:1 final drive in low low. It looked like a 10 bolt front axle. Idont really know about chevy front axles. I know the Dana's and the 14 rear. It was a 14 but a non float axle. He was asking 1600.

Yeah, I have the same 70+:1 crawl ratio in my '83, it's nice. If it was new enough to have the 9.5" 14 bolt (the semi floater) then it had a GM 10 bolt front axle, it succeeded the Dana 44, the two have several interchangeable parts.
