DANG! Looks like mine had the vinyl insert and not the cloth! Thanks for posting your SPID.
Don't guess it matters as it will look better than the orange!

Got the 350 from Jegs today, now to start gathering all the parts to install!

x2. I love a clean, matching original truck but you have a unique chance to pair these two 68's - I'd do the swap! A 50th K20 Custom Camper would look too cool.

I agree- 4x4 would be really sharp

Looking for rear gear ratio on my truck, not on SPID would it be anywhere else?

SS Tim · 03-31-2014, 04:48 PM

Does anyone use the links in my signature?

The code of course will/should be stamped into rear axle. Location and codes are specific to the type of axle.

But you could always look it up on the linked powertrain page.
That lists the various powertrains with standard and as available the optional ratios. If you do not have a ratio shown on the SPID it is likely a standard ratio.

Or you could always just look it up below. :-)

However, as always, what a vehicle was built with may no longer be correct.

Thanks Tim, it had slipped my mind that you had that in your sig.

I need the material for my '68 gold anniversary. Picking her up this weekend. Seat has been replaced. I need to know how to contact SMS for white and gold material. Thanks
