Unless the truck was a special order and the customer specified their choice of available ratio you got what ever ratio the dealer ordered. I know when my father ordered out 68 K2500 he never specified what gear ratio he wanted and the truck came with 4.56 ratio which he felt was just too low for his needs comparing it to his 62 that had 3.54 gears that seemed more than adequate with all the torque of the V6.

Thank you Peter - I was afraid you would say that. I want to run up and down the road with relative ease and ability to cruise at 60+ MPH speeds....a 4:10 or worse, a 4:56 would drink gasoline like crazy seems like. So where can I get 3/4 ton gears to replace the originals that would get me a higher highway ratio like 3:42 or something?
