Re: IML: Overdrive axle?

[sosmi@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I just looked, for fun at my 74 truck manual, and the 2spd. axle, came inD500 thru D800 trucks no std. pick-ups.The gear ratios, were:5.83/8.11 to 6.65/9.13 .Hope this helps, (I think a late mod . AOD.is the plan) unless your into tractor pulling. Dave.     81 Imp. 85PU, 87 ,88, 90.Ramchargers. 93 Diesel, 77B200( 440 powered ) and, 98 Lincoln MK8 Lsc
