I currently have 3.54 gears in the Dana 60 under my '65 Coronet. I'm getting ready to swap a new Dana 60 with 3.23 gears in there. The 3.54 gears are okay but I think I'll like the 3.23 gears even better.

Us limp wrists must sit behind desks and earn enough money to afford OD

Yeah, that's the problem.

I just love how people reminisce about the "good old days" when men were men.....
People used to have dentistry performed without anesthesia too.
Sometimes the "good old days" just weren't that good, they're just old.

Was it here on moparts years ago that I viewed a picture of
a foreign overdrive unit bolted to the rear of a 727 in place of the OEM tailshaft?

If my fuzzy memory is not fooling me this overdrive had what seemed like a small diameter.

I am not talking about a Gearvendors unit
or the overdrive add-on designed by Chrysler for the 518/46 automatic.

Less than an hour ago I was listening to Red Eye Radio on 820 WBAP out of Dallas and heard a commercial repeatedly for 2.18 ratio big truck differentials now available.

In 1968 I had 4 teeth pulled by my small town dentist without pain killers.
To his credit it did all four very quickly.

Did you know the tooth brush was invented in West Va?
Any place else it would have been called a teeth brush.

Might add in late 60s a tank of gas was $5.00. Two 4s, 5.86 gears, cruising Friday and Saturday nite would take 2 tanks. Didn't matter back then, $100 or more does today on wall mart greeters salary does.

If you have a small block that swap to a 518 only set me back $1,000 using the factory TC that came with it. Looking at $1500 or about if you need an Ultrabell to fit it to a big block. As long as you can make your own mount - no problem.

In the year 1967, the average retail price of gas in the U.S. was $0.33.

This is equivalent to $2.47 in 2018 dollars. National Average Price of gas as of 8/20/18. $2.838. It's $2.69 around here.

Lol , In the early 70's I absolutely refused to buy Sunoco 260 because it was an outrageous 45 cents per gallon.

Typical Walmart greeter probably does not use 2 tanks of gas in a month.

I did not live in WVa.
I had no cavities and the 4 teeth were in good shape and not wisdom teeth.
My jaw was too small.

I also remember 31 to 33 cents per gallon gasoline when CocaColas from a vending machine was 10 cents.

The ratio of gasoline price to vending machine Cokes has stayed pretty stable.
The ratio of a Mars MilkyWay bars to gasoline has also stayed relatively constant.

The above ratios have been more stable that the ratio of the price of crude oil to either a troy ounce of silver or Gold.

Unless,. I still have that car! LOL
I pumped 260 for $.38 @ gallon (my weekend job) pumped 190 the most, $.29

Sorry, must have hit a nerve.

Doesn’t having 4 teeth removed from a small jaw prove that legally I cannot be a
“Big Mouth”.

Touché LOL

I dont know any typical walmart greeters that even own a older performance muscle car.

Ive never understood how some can own a 30-60k mopar muscle car that is really a luxury/toy vs a necessity in life and complain about the cost of a tank of fuel but yet never balks at there 40k new truck needing a $200 oil change.

However at the same time I wont pay $1.70 for a candy bar thats 40% smaller then when it was 25 cents in 1975.

Sarcasm with priorities
