Hi all,
Went to change differential oil and goop was too thick to pump out. Removed diff and scooped it out and got majority off gears. Outside was grimey enough to pass for original. Which ain’t proof it is. Taking out diff noticed tag read 3.00 and confirmed are 3.00 by turning the gears. The 60 has 352 Cruise-O. Every reference I read says ratio is 3.10. Build date is Aug 16 1960. Could it be that late builds were getting 3.00 like the 61s ?
Is a small change in ratio, but interesting to discover. Anyone else finding 60s with 3.00 gears ?
