I gotta 12 bolt rear in my 64 1/2 ton, and I figure this to have been a 6 cyl truck, so can anyone venture a guess as to my likely ratio back there?

3.73 was the factory gear ratio in the C10 trucks of '64-'66. You can also check by removing the differential cover and counting the ring gears and pinion gears and dividing the larger number by the smaller number. This will give you the correct ratio of your rearend. I hope this helps.

As Tony says, 3.73 was standard, rare but optional was 4.10(usually behind 3 spd O/D) & the economy option w/3.07. Brian

Thanks guys,
Sorry i didn't look harder at the archives though, this one was pretty well answered already. Someone said there was a stamp on the pumpkin somewhere that would tell me. Does anyone know where the stamp usually is?
