So you have an old tug. No you can't go to 3:07's in that axle you currently have. The 3:07 uses a different housing. That is why its called a 71. You have a 70.
Update:Iv found a donor truck. 96 w3500 4x4,3:55 ratio. It has a nv4500.I might be wrong,im thinking the trans has an overdrive. Up for grabs @ this time,8.0 V10 and cab parts(nice doors,otherwise rotted)
