Re: 3:42 gears
I really like a 3.42 rear when I have trans that does not have an OD available, specially if you have a SM465 4 speed. A retired teacher buddy of mine had an 84 K20 with a 350, SM465, NP208, 3.42's and 245/75 16's, and we would pull anything we wanted, and still turn acceptable RPM's going down the highway at 65-70. THe taller tire helps too... If I end up going with a SM465 vs. my NV4500 in my 3/4 ton build I WILL find a 3.42 gear set for it...
