Anyways, I've told you wrong before: You should count the number of times the driveshaft must be rotated to rotate the single REAR WHEEL TWICE. For greater precision, you could always increase the number of rotations.
For example, lets say you have a 3.73 ... it would take 37.3 revolutions of the driveshaft to rotate the single rear wheel 20 times.
Man, I hope I've got this correct finally. Now I needs some black coffee!

Right on. I see where you're going with that.. anyway I haven't made it there to check on that. But I have been informed that it has the D4 code on the inside of the door panel. Now assuming that it's the original axle still, that would make it the 373.
We've found a couple of options for donor vehicles-
1986 B2 with a 3.73 ratio
1990 B2 with a 3.43 ratio
Wondering what the best solution would be. The thing of it is, price wise, we can get the front and rear off the '90 for about $250. The guy at the yard supposedly started it up and drove it around. The hubs on the front of our rig are shot to hell as well, so we could just do a swap on both the front and rear.
Off the '86 the guy wants $150. Not sure on driveshaft lengths, and dimensions of shackles and what not. But I think we could make it work.
Suggestions?
