All I can offer is that that was a common ratio for the big cars mid sixties to late seventies. Pretty much any big four door with an automatic from that era had close to a 3.00:1 ratio. Good luck, Rich.

3.00 third members are plentiful in the yards. average about 30 to 50 depending on the yard. you will need a 28 spline unit. Easy swap
Dont get into chaning ring and pinions on nine inchers unless you have the expertise and tools to set it up.

Hi Guys!
Thanks for the info. I guess this is a 9, i really dont know. i checked the plate on it and it says what is currently in it is a 3.70. i dont know if this helps or not. i can take things apart, replace things, but tell you what it is i fall short on. i am a newbie at this still. sorry.
so what car should i be looking for to get what i need? cause there are no trucks that i have found. i have been trying to go through the listing services and calling yards but nothing. i want to do what garbz2 said just do a simple swap.
Thanks fellas!

I got my pumkin from a older LTD with a 400. It had 3.00 gears and worked great for getting my mileage up.
