That GMC had a Spicer 45 rear end as opposed to Chevy, from what I've read, and the trucks generally had either 3.08 or 3.92 ratio's - not sure if there were other mid-range ratio's or not, but I think most were one or the other. A quick check is to raise a rear wheel (both if posi, tranny in neutral) and rotate the wheel while counting the revolutions of the drive shaft. I would maybe do ten revolutions of the wheel - almost 31 turns of the driveshaft tells you 3.08, almost 40 tells you 3.92.
Depends how you're going to use the truck on the ideal ratio. If you're highway driving, with 27.1" tall tires and no overdrive you'll be turning right at 2675rpm at 70mph with a 3.08, and right at 3400 with a 3.92. You can ratio from both points if you find you have some other rear gear ratio.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
