What rear setup for ls swap?
Although I have already started my project I still have a few things to sort on and plan. I am looking for advice on rear end setups. I am swapping in a 6.2l/4l75e drivetrain. I want to use the stock 12 bolt. What kind of gear locker setups are ls swapped truck running? I am going for good driveability

I'm running the stock 4:10 gears in my 6.0 4l80e setup!
I'm getting about 16-18 MPG on the road.

I am using a 3.73 Posi in the '67 Panel Truck with the LS1/4l60e combo. Runs really good and I got almost 24 mpg on the secondary roads when we went to Kansas City last September. I was running 60-65 most of the way. LockDoc
