You'll find the 3.73 gears for your 10 bolt rear a pretty scarce item. Easiest way to get better gears for a 3/4 ton is to get a 12 or 14 bolt from a later model and swap the entire differential. 3.73 gears were standard for years, some of the newer ones have 3.42. Keep away from the vans, they are too wide for the pickups.
