I have heard .70 and .85. It has the R10Q-1 tailshaft. Side plate 3858992 Main case #3858986 Tail R10Q-1 Thanks 1959 Apache 3200, Standard Cab, Big Window, Fleetside, 235/3spd, Original Paint 1964 C20 Standard Cab, Fleetside, 283/Power Glide, A/C, Pwr Steering, Pwr Brakes, NoSpin

Texasdeere Wrench Fetcher T Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 37 Magnolia, TX	Thanks Bill The manual says .70 but the info on the "old burb club" site said .85. Wasn't sure which one it was. 1959 Apache 3200, Standard Cab, Big Window, Fleetside, 235/3spd, Original Paint 1964 C20 Standard Cab, Fleetside, 283/Power Glide, A/C, Pwr Steering, Pwr Brakes, NoSpin
