the 3.42 would be in later trucks, never stock in a 67 - 72.
3.73 is the norm in an inline truck. You oughta think aboiut draining the diff anf refilling it. How old do you think that oil is? 20yrs...older? |

i didnt see if this had been mentioned or not...but if the truck is a 67-72 3/4 ton, then it will have 4.56/4.57 gears standard.
