Hey Guys (and Gals?)

I have a quick, and potentially dumb question for all of you who want to help a guy out.

I'm thinking or purchasing another 72 truck, but this one is "kind of" a mish-mash of stuff, unlike any I've had in the past.

The vehicle currently has a Dana 44 in the front with a 4:10 ratio and the rear Dana 70 posi geared at 4:56. Is the most cost effective solution to have a reliable, 4x4 going forward to:

a) Re-gear the Dana 44 to 4:56
b) Re-gear the Dana 70 to 4:10
c) Something else?

Your input is appreciated!
