I may have hit the mother-lode? Just about to swap out the HO 72 in my '48 3800 for a 14 bolt. I found a '70 2x4, 3/4 ton, small block, 4 spd. with coil springs. The truck had no hitch or whiskey bruises in the bed so I think it lived a good life. About a thousand forums ago I remember someone mention that the coil spring versions are 4:10 or even higher? It's going to take a day with a good saw clearing trees and brush just to get the truck in a position to lift it so I don't want to do this for practice.
If someone could please confirm my suspicions on the gear-set I would really appreciate it.
