Is my reaserch correct?
 

I have been reading on various sites and technical data on my truck and i think i have narrowed it down to my truck having a 3.08 rear gear. It is a 65 1/2 ton came with a 283 and a power glide. What do you guys think?

Re: Is my reaserch correct?
 

Standard issue was 3.73:1. The sure-fire way is open the cover and count the ring and pinion gear teeth.

Hey tdsob check the stamp on the bottom right of the pumpkin and let us know what the first two letters are.

Tony, wouldn't AX be a 3.55 ratio ?

Thanks barebones that's what i was looking at. I typed my number wrong i meant 3.55. And why is there no c10 on that list?

Re: Is my reaserch correct?
 

You guys are right--but there's no telling what wound up in there forty years later! Pop the cover, and count 'em to be sure.

don't get mad guy's not trying to be a know it all because i am not.but if you look on the page listing the 1965 models you need to be looking under c14(c10 short bed) or c15(c10 long bed).there is some confusion with that series i.d. list.the 1/2 ton c10 trucks only came with 3:73 which is standard.3:07 which is optional and 4:11 which is optional.the c10 powerglide trucks all had 3:73 rear axles.

For 1/2 ton pickup ratios look at C14 and C15. R10 is corvair and G 10 is van.

Makes sense, the rear end in my truck is stamped HB which should be a 3.07.

I seen the word powerglide and just ASSumed it was an AX ... DUH ! Can't blame it on glasses cause im sure I was wearing at the time..

Sorry for the bad info TDSOB, i'll pay more attention next time.

Let us know if you get that truck home safe today. ;)
