A stock C/GT with 4-speed/OD had 3.70 rear end. Some very early examples
had 3.07. 'B' rear ends are 3.90. It's easy to tell if you have a 'C'
speedometer. Look at the numbers on the face of the speedometer. If they
end at 140, it's a 'C' speedometer. #8~)

PS: You got much for spare bits? I'm looking for...
1) There is a stamped metal piece that goes over the top of the radiator?
A rubber seal fits over it to seal air going over the top of the
radiator.
2) A rebuidable left front disk brake caliber.
3) A plastic blade radiator fan assembly
4) A set of 3.70 rear-end gears.
5) A good set of parking/turn signal lights with dual bulbs and
amber/white lenses.
