Post by wwjd63 »

Does any one know what the gear ratio would be on a "72 f-250 camper special?
is there a way to find out without taking off the rear cover.?

wwj,

There's also an "oldschool" way of doing it, (not 100% but close enough for government work)!

Jack up the rearend, truck in nuetral(oh yeah, block the front wheels) :lol:
Spin the rear wheel one full circle, count how many revolutions the driveshaft turned.
