First of all you need to get the complete third member (differential)
(pumpkin) from a 1967-1972 Chevy C20 3/4 ton pickup with automatic
tranny. This is a 4.10 ratio as opposed to your stock 4.57. Once you
have this carrier I understand that there are vendors (Carter) who sell
a 3.90 that fits this carrier. I spent about 3 years and $250.00 &
$50.00 shipping just to find a used 4.10. Since I already have a Chevy
S10 T5 tranny I am staying with the 4.10 ratio.

I thought that someone had mentioned a place that now supplies new gears to
fit into the housing of a 54 3/4 ton truck. Was I dreaming? I could not
find the original post on the archives. Seems like it was Patricks, but
couldn't find anything there that said 3/4 ton. I want to check out the
differences in price for keeping the original 3/4 ton rearend with new,
more highway compatiable gearing, versus swapping out for a Nova (or some
such) rearend. I would prefer to keep the truck "heavy duty" as I will be
using it to haul lots of stuff here and there.
Anyone got any suggestions?
