i'm looking for something with better gears than my 4:11. maybe something in the 3:73 range. i'm not out pulling anything and i just wanna be able to drive on the highway. i would be willing to buy or trade someone for the rear i have or some other parts. Thanks, Steve

I got some 3/4 rears Eatons, dana 60's and 14 bolts

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.

You want to be looking for the 3:54 dana60 that was offered only in our BB trucks. The coil rear is hard to find, in 3/4T trucks. It is easier to find in 2wd BB Suburbans, because they are ALL coil rearends.
I have shipped several out of here, and that wasn't cheap, but guys wanted them that bad.

All I have left are for leaf springs but you could change mounting pads. Thanks Randy
