    If you have an 8" diff you'll have 4.10's. The best 3rd for that housing and application is a later model diff with 3.07's from a factory 4 speed trans equipped truck.

    Yup. Any 8" 3rd will drop in, 4 cylinder, V6 whatever it all swaps in directly.

    88-95 V6 2 wheel drive will have 3.42's too. 3.07's are in 84-92ish standard cab base models with 4 speed transmissions.
