Shift Speed? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Greetings All:

I've had my truck (69 C10 SWB with a 350/TH350) for about 3
months now. I've noticed that it shifts rather quickly. By 25MPH
its already in high gear (2 shifts). Would this be normal? Bye the
way, the tranny fluid looks clear and bright red.

Was also wondering what I can do to save gas? The current
rear end is a 3.73. I popped the inspection cover and the ring
gear is stamped 11:41. Good thing I did, there was only about a
handful of really black lube in there. Had considered a different tranny, but a 700r4 is fairly expensive. Any thoughts this or the above?
