Rear gear ratio

I recently picked up a 67 C10 (I already posted pics last week for the picture hounds ) It has a 283 with a 3sp and over drive. Did this have a standard rear gear that someone knows off the top of their head, or will I have to pull the cover?

Re: Rear gear ratio

Restoration manual says 3-sd. OD was only available with the 4.11 rearend ratio. I guess they were worried about too little torque at the top end...LOL!

1st - 2.85:1 (2.0:1)
2nd - 1.68:1 (1.18:1)
3rd - 1:1 (0.7:1)
