So it seems that I'm the proud new owner of a '95 3500HD chassis. As I understand it, these trucks come with a Dana 80 out back and most(if not all) of them have 5.13 gears. I would like to swap to a higher ratio but they are expensive and kind of hard to find. I see lots of 4.10 sets on ebay from D80 Ford axles and I was wondering if they would work in my Chev. Would appreciate any info you guys may have regarding my new prize!

The factory ratios for 3500HD are 4.63 and 5.13. keep in mind your tire diameter, your truck has 19.5" rims the Dodge is 16.5". If you don't pull heavy loads a 4.63 would be a good choice.
