These trucks were usually ordered with 4 speed transmission, posi traction rear axle, 16" rims and heavy duty rear coil springs. There should be a "SPL" on the paint code on the "For Economical Transportation" trim tag on lower inside left kick panel to verify.
Thanks for the information, truck has a posi, as previously demonstrated, not sure on the SPID decal, will have a look, and the springs have been replaced with lowering coils from CCP.

Has a 4 speed and, what I am assuming is a very low, Numerically high rear axle ratio. Can pull away in 3rd with no trouble, 4.11 or maybe a 4.56 if there is such a thing.

Will look at the trim tag and report back.
