Looking to see what gear ratios I can get (4.11 now I guess)

3 on the tree 235 Six...Also where can I get a spare tire cut out fender?

That's a real clean '61 you have. The gears you have are more than likely 3.90's....the only other gears available for the GM 55T are 3.38's....Yukon gear makes them.

Your best bet will be ebay, craigslist, local classifieds. I don't think anyone is making repo's with the spare cutout. Nice truck also!!

I just bought a set of 3.38s from Randy's. They said they will fit the 3.90 carrier OK. From what I've been told the 3.90 was standard and the 3.38 was the only option. If you do have 4.11s in there you might make sure the 3.38 will fit your carrier.
