Daily driver has 3:08's and the "have fun" truck will get 4:11.

68 with 350 TPI · 08-07-2002, 11:15 PM

I have a 4.11 posi

Good for take off,smoking the tires,pulling stuff,and with the 700r4 its freeway friendly

Patrick Sullivan · 08-07-2002, 11:31 PM

I have 4.11's (finally went out and counted 'em), but I'm running 32" tires so it doesn't seem like it.

PushinPebbles · 08-08-2002, 12:20 AM

i have 3.73's and my dad has a big ass 4.56 in his but his is a 12 bolt camaro axle

**COBALT** · 08-08-2002, 12:48 AM

I swapped out my 4.10s for 3.90s when I had my locker put in.

*big71* · 08-08-2002, 07:04 AM

70c10 · 08-08-2002, 07:56 AM

okietruck · 08-08-2002, 08:48 AM

I'm running 3.73 on my 72. I'd like to put an overdrive tranny in to help on the highway.

Pont · 08-08-2002, 11:45 AM

4.11's in the rear..............................and the front

VNMOUS · 08-08-2002, 01:53 PM

3:08 WITH EATON LOCKER255/60/15 TIRES

jku72 · 08-08-2002, 02:48 PM

3.07, 3.73, and 4.10
I think soon to be 2.67 instead of 3.07.
The 4.10 is a pain, but not much choice for a ho 72.
K5 with 3.73 is heading for junkyard.

Nichboy · 08-08-2002, 03:54 PM

I've got the stock 3:07. What rear end would swap on this truck with no modifications.
