ring/pinion gears

I have a 56 f100 with a stock 3.73 dana 44 rear end and was wondering if anyone has ordered a set from USA Standard gear and how did it work out. I did not think this set was being made any longer until I found it on a web page. Also amazed how many other vehicles this set went into.

Wellcraft, I basically have the same set up only with 3.92 rear, so I am also very interested in the answer you will hopefully get. BTW. What ratio are you looking to go to?

Probably stay with the 3.73 or go to a 3.50 but not sure what the 3.50 will do to my speedo and engine speed as I have a 292 with 3 speed and O/D in it now. I see there are a number of different ratios out there but would like input from someone who has tried it.
