I am nearly ready to put my 53 3100 back on the road. I have installed a 235 but kept the original transmission and torque tube rear end. I think it has a 4.11 gear. I have looked at the Patrick's 3.55 conversion but my concern is that I live in the hills of Tennessee. I don't want to spend all of my time downshifting into second to go up a hill. Is there another ring gear and pinion that will fit into a torque tube rear end that has a ratio of 3.73 or so?? Or any ratio between 3.55 and 4.11?
Thanks, Richard
