Three speed on the column is the correct name for it I believe.

I am curious of the rear gear ratio also. I have been told 3.73:1 and I have been told 4.11:1 but I don't have a tach in the truck so I can't figure it.

My truck is a '72 2wd I6 w/column shift 3 speed Long fleet w/ no options other than leaves out back and the gauge package. Any ideas on the factory gear ratio?
