Hi Stovebolt This summer I bought a 59 viking 60. I don't know why but I really like the way it looked. Paid to much and I'm finding that was just the beginning. My question is this when I did the gear ratio test rear wheels off the ground tape on tire and drive shaft it comes out to 3 and 3/4 turns drive shaft to 1 rotation of tire. So in the specs for 59 it says my rear axel is a 7.20 :1 I'm thinking its two different things and would a 2 ton truck have 3.73:1 gear ratio? It has a 132.5 wheel base,vin number v6a590107606 max gvw 16,000. It also had a after market dump bed,it also has a sm420 trans,and a 283
