Are the gear ratios in the transmission and rear end different in the 1959 Apache 1/2 ton with a 6 cyl and V8 motor? I'm getting ready to take the 6 cyl out of my truck and replace it with a 283 and if the ratios are different, I need to know if I need to swap the transmission. I do have plans to change the rear end out with a more highway friendly ring and pinion. Thanks.
