Its A Very Clean Tag, The Top Line Is Wdm Bv4 7ja And It Is Divided Just Like That And The Bottom Line 2.75 9 3518 Now What Does The 3518 Mean? And Do You Think I Should Change The Gear If It Is Hooked To A 351m With A C-6 Trans. Thanks For The Help, I Am Trying To Restore My Dads Old Truck For Him,he Bought New In 77 And It Really Needs Some Help. And I Am About To Deploy To Iraq Later This Week And Want To Get All The Numbers Right So I Know What To Do When I Ge Back.... Thanks

3518 is the casting plant code.
see the ID tag I posted.
The "lower the number ratio " the less the engine revs and the less fuel you would normally burn depending on many things.
Changing it ?
it depends on what you were going to use the truck for

Hi 78 F100, my 79F150 has the 351m, C6, 2.75 rear and is fine. You can always change the gear later, after the restoration is done, if it isn't enough. If you are doing it for your father, I would ask him first if he feels like spending a little more for fuel. Hey, good luck over there.

What I Really Want To Do Is Put It Back To Original Specs, The Vin # States It Was A "g" Code 302 2v 2 Barrel Carb.
So I Was Wondering If I Went With A Rebuilt 302, Would A Larger Gear Give It Some Nuts. I Put A Lifetime Warranty C-6 Trans From Ammaco Last Week And Replaced Shocks Brakes Rotors Turn Signal Switch And Oil Change. But The Motor Is Shot. It Leaks (rear Mains) And Smokes Like A Chimney. And The Truck Is Like A Fish Out Of Water Right Now. I Brought It To Jacksonville Fl To Get It Done. It Will Go Back To Baton Rouge And Be A Week End Driver (like A Red Neck Hot-rod) . The Farm Life Is Done, The Super Duty And The Old Chevy 454 Duelly Took Its Spot A Couple Of Years Ago And I Couldnt Bear To See It Left In The Field To Die. So Any Suggestions Would Be Great.
