Anyone know what the 55 and 56 cars with a automatic trans had for ratios,I presently have a maverick 8 inch in my 55 that has 2.79 gears and is way too tall and new parts are going to get expensive to get to a 3.25 ratio.  I have been looking at the swapmeets for 3.25 8 inch stuff but have not found any and considering going back with a original rear end if the ratio is close to 3.25,I think I can get one way cheaper then the 500 or so I will have in new gears plus the original rear end had larger brakes then the maverick.
