CUCV gear ratios?
I am looking to do a 68 4x4 project. Build a good solid wood hauler, not a show truck. I have an opportunity to get the entire driveline out of a 1987 military CUCV pickup. The seller says the front and rear axles are both 5:1 ratios. Does that sound right? I know the military trucks have heavy duty axles, but the number sounded odd. I've never seen an even number like that. I'm guessing they are 4.56 or somkething like that. Did all CUCV's have the same axles?

Man, after driving a few CUCV's if I were to do a 4X4 I would definitely go with that setup! Those things are stout and can pull a house off of its foundation! Go for it!!!
