[oletrucks] Rear end ratios (again)

["Paul W. Franchina" <pfoxtrot@gate.net>]

I pulled the rear end for clean/fix up. When I got the rear cover off I
counted teeth. No cavities, er, um, wait - 39 on the ring - 10 on the
pinion - 3.90:1. Was this a stock ratio for 58' or has someone changed the
differential? In the overall scheme of things this should be a fairly
decent ratio for around town driving with occasional hi way miles - yes?
