The 3.42 gears and a 700R4 will be a good combo if you don't have tall tires. A 3.73 gear is a good all around gear for an OD trans and about a 28-30" tall tire.
Agree....my old truck runs a 3.42 gear/29" tire, & will cruze 105 mph & 31-3200 on the tach....freeway flya. Enough said....just imagine the 2nd trip around on the speedo @ 46-4700 in od ? longhorn
