On a 1/2 ton truck, models with a standard 6-cylinder (or small V8, 283/307) engine usually had factory 3.73 gears. 350/327/396/402 equipped trucks usually had 3.07 gears.

Its not that easy to tell but... if this is what you want here it is for 1/2 tons.
H01 is 3.07 H05 is 3.73 H04 is 4.11 If you dont have any option code listed it probably has the standard equipment... most like if it s a 6 cyl it's 3.73 if its an original 8 it's more than likely 3.07

OK, this is a 1/2 with factory installed 350. I was hoping the option code G80 on the glove box sticker was a clue for the ratio. Guess it just means positraction rear.
Rod, Those numbers you gave are they the ones on the id tag on the rear housing? Thanks guys.

Jack up the rear end and put a mark on the drive shaft. Turn the right rear tire 1 revolution (if you have a posi) or 2 revolutions (for an open) and count the drive shaft revolutions. This will get you in the ball park.

Re: option code ?
GM build the 12 bolts. They weren't outsources. Was the original posters truck a 4 speed or automatic transmission?
