You might be lucky and have 3.38 gears, but most of the '55-'62 trucks had 3.90 gears. No the Eaton HO32 is not the same as the '55-'64 car differential. The Eaton HO32 was used from '55 second series thru '62 in the 1/2 ton trucks.

Just a reference. Some people just absorb info. Not you apparently.

Actually, I think that statement only applies to cars with the 250HP 327...

Re: 62 1/2ton automatic trans what rearend ratios??
Why not just pull the cover and have a look. I almost guarantee that the oil needs changed. It'll just cost you a cover gasket, a couple quarts of gear oil and a little time. Then you'll know exactly what gears you have and the peace of mind knowing that your differential has fresh oil and what the condition is inside.

The '55-'62 Eaton HO32 differentials have both a removable 3rd member and a rear cover.
If it doesn't have a removable rear cover it is not an original differential to your truck.
