which gears should I use?
I am in the process of building an 85 F150 that is gonna have a fairly stock (no internal mods) 302 with a manual T18 with the final gear being 1:1. I want to drive this thing on the highways, but I don't want it to be a dog in town. What rear axle gears should I use? I am installing an axle from an 89 as they are easier to change the gears in, and more complete axles are available at the wreckers for gear sets.

I was kinda undicided between 308's or 355's. I still am. Guess i gotta decide how much highway driving i'm gonna do. If it's not gonna need to go 70MPH often, than I would prefer the 355's.
