3.73 with that drivetrain unless glovebox door label says differently

No... just like Fast68 said.
No optional info on glove box... standard equipment was a 373 gear set in your truck.

and regarding 307 engines, 3.73 came in all 1968 307 trucks except with the M10 overdrive option ordered,
but in the later years the 307 with 4 speed chevy or turbo hydr tranny got 3.07 gears, and with 3 speed got 3.73 gears as was the case with the 350 engine, but not the 396 engine, 396 engine = 3.07 and 3.54 depending on tranny ordered ------------------ Randy- Lincoln, IL randy@ccaonline.com 2177353230 -71 C-10 350/CH465/3.07, assemble it, yeah right, that'll happen in this world,(not) -84 Z28 Camaro 5.0L 700R4, 3.73, beater, paid way too much for it like an idiot,, -84 Firebird SE 2.8L T-5, rod knocking, dammit,, -82 Firebird 350 4bolt (TBL)/TH350, not running, dammit... buy/sell/hoard/trade most any GM vehicle parts of any kind -parting out: '81 Cutlass Supreme Brougham *Paint is overrated © RSS Enterprises 2000 [This message has been edited by Fast68Chevy (edited April 28, 2002).] |

While we are on the subject, what would be the ratio on my 72 GMC 2wd be with a 350/350? If nobody can tell me this then maybe someone can tell me where to look on the rear end. Seems like someone said on the axle tube somewhere? Darren

3.07 onless otherwise stated in your glove box.
But that was 30 years ago...no telling what is in there now. I would pull the cover off, and count the teeth. The refill it. When was the lastt iem you chainged the oil in there anyways? ------------------ '69 G.M.C. 350/350.

FINALLY got the HORNIAC...a '70 one ton Longhorn with a Pontiac 350/350 and lots of 'personality'. Check out The Longhorn Webite.
