You can find gears here:
https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...ive+gear,11676 https://www.summitracing.com/search/...ion-type/700r4 short how to: http://www.73-87.com/7387garage/drivetrain/spdgears.htm calculator here: https://www.tciauto.com/speedometer-gear-calculator Also, if you have a smart phone, you can download a GPS speedometer app and verify accuracy.

Re: fix for speedometer reading wrong due to new 700r4
Here is what you need to know. Tire height, rear end ratio and the color of the drive gear in the transmission. Then you can go to tone of the gear calculator pages and find out what driven gear you need. You may find that the drive gear will not work for your setup and have to change it. I have linked TCI's page below and they have a list of available drive gear options for you trans listed. You can try drive gears with more or less teeth till you find a set that works for your truck.
