The 360's in trucks that i have seen always had lower gears in them. 3/4 and 1 tons had 4:10 and lower gears. If it was a half ton it had 3:91... The 318's I have seen in 1/2 tons in the 70/80's had 3:23 gears and in the 90's and up had 3:55's Those low gears realy hurt MPG.



Many years ago a friend of mine had a 73 1/2t Power Wagon short bed with a 360 and 3.55s. That truck would run, especially after the motor build and 4 barrel...
