Spid Rear End question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Already Gone** · 03-27-2013, 10:58 PM

Can anyone tell me what rear end gears this truck may have. It is an original unmolested truck. I'm thinking 3:73's but hoping for 3:54's

I don't think 3.73 was an option. 3.54 was standard, and 4.10 was an option IIRC on 72 3/4 ton trucks. Since no ratio is listed, I would say you have 3.54s there. I am sure SSTim will chime in and confirm or deny this.

It should be an eaton axle with a 4:10 gear. The "no spin" was the "posi" for the eaton

Sorry, But from the SPID as presented it looks like 4.10 gears.
A 350(LS9) C20 coil truck would have a 5200 Eaton HO52 rear axle. The truck has HD coils, but not the leafs that would trigger a Dana60. The NoSpin is another confirmation its an Eaton axle.

Nice options.

Here are the 72 C20 and C30 powertrain charts if you want to have them on file.

Thanks for the info guys, its much appreciated. I kinda been wanting a C20 but really don't want 4:10 gears so I guess this truck as nice and original as it is is not for me. Its the one in the link.

Thanks Tim and looking at the chart I guess I should be looking for a C20 with a Big Block as they have the 3:54 gears from the factory.

Or putting a big block dana in this truck. It just needs to come out of a coil C20. Might have to work out driveshaft and park brake cable issues some.
