Yup! But only if you're running a 3.42 rear.

4th is 4th...1:1 is 1:1
trans gearing doesn't change if you change your rear dif gears
the total final drive changes but nothing else

When in 4th, the synchro locks the input shaft to the synchro which is hubbed to the mainshaft. That remains the same, 3.42:1 rear or otherwise.
