Gear Ratios - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 1971 chevy 4x4 that I just bought. I wanted to find out what gear ratios I had in the front and rear axles. I jacked up the truck and locked the hubs. I then turned the wheel one full rotation and the output shaft only turned 1.50. Is that possible? I was expecting it to turn like 3.75 or 4.11. Does anyone know if that is accurate or if maybe I have a problem with my axle. I know if anyone could answer this it would be from this website. Keep it up guys.
