There are 3.38 gear sets available. http://www.ringpinion.com/b2c/Produ...mp;Brand=Yukon_Gear_Ring_and_Pinion_SetsAnd this is a good place to look for other parts too.
Kicking self for selling off my Taskforce trucks.
Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape.
As of 10-26-2022, A 55.2 Taskforce long bed now the work begins

One might get lucky sometimes and get another gear. Especially if it is an Automatic vehicle.
I recently was given a 59 rear end and what a surprise when I pulled the cover and found out it was a 3.08. You just never know.
Around in my area a junk yard will want as much as a couple hundred for the rearend but you won't know the gear ratio. I've got a 3.90 center section you can have if you want it but it whine's going down the road. If you want it and then change ring gear/pinion send me a PM. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | lancer, if you have the punkin and carrier [or want to scoop chips] you might find the 3.38 gears for the TF [55-59] trucks at a shop nearby that specializes in rear ends and transmissions
