What you read, was misleading.
True, the BASE MODEL truck, came with a 3.73... however, that does not mean that the standard gear will alwaysbe 3.73.
There were trannys that would come with a 4.11, and other trannys that would get you 3.0
7 gears. (3.08 was a car gear)
Yes, if there is an optional gearset, then it would be listed, but, that doesn't mean you have 3.73's though.
What engine, and tranny did your 69 come with originally? (if no engine option listed, then it was a 307 for a CE truck, and a 250 for a CS truck)
