I read a bazillion threads today on here regarding the gear options in the 1951 F1's. I'm aware of the Dana 44 and the Spicer 41 options. I checked out the stamp on mine and it has a 44 stamped on it. The tag reads W 47/12. can someone explain what i have because i think I'm too dopey to figure out what i have for gears in this truck on my own. I think it's the 3.73 set up (hoping it's not the 4.27 gears).

Thanks,

Wally

ps. Finished installing the exhaust and the seats (with seat belts). just have to bolt on the fenders and possibly remove a few leaves in the rear once its on the ground... almost done!!! whooo hooo!!!! (of course we have two feet of snow on the ground but i can still sit in it and make vroom sounds!)

 

47 divided by 12 equals 3.92

Congrats on the progress!

 

simple math (ring gear divided by pinion gear)... dang, that was easy! No wonder i was perplexed... thanks.

So that's how it's done, thanks Doc.
