Eaton Rear End Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am servicing the rear end on my 64 C20 (a 10 bolt Eaton HO52) and had a couple of questions.

1. Who makes a nice heavy cover gasket? The felpro from LMC is paper thin and seems useless.

2. Should I use a sealer on the bolts since they are open into the case?

3. I am trying to figure out the rear end ratio but I can't even see the pinion gear with the cover off. I can only see the ring gear, so I can't count the pinion teeth. Are there any numbers in there to look for?

Thanks
