Looks like that gn rear end has been beefed up, I see longer studs an maybe some aftermarket axles in there

The GN rear is a tough SOB. Good choice! 5.18's? That should work if you want to run about 80mph top speed in OD lmao.

5.18 gears an a mini spool lol sounds like a oval track or dirt track rear end

yes, i want to throw in 3.27-3.73 max probably

most common ones i have found are 3.42 wich is fine with me also

3.42s work perfectly in a GN application, so I don't see why it would be any different for you. There are guys running 11's,10's,9's, etc with them. That's what most 8.5's came with stock. You might be able to pick these up for a good price.

if your junkyard shopping, should be a sticker on the door or in glovebox with the codes.

1999-2004 Silverados
GU4 3.08
GU6 3.42
GT4 3.73

2005 and up Silverados had 3.23, 3.42, 3.73 gears

oh damn, well i would be happy with anything really in the 3.xx range wich they pretty much all are, hell i wouldnt say no to 4.10 either, i plan on running a 27-28 inch tall tire in the back so a little more aggressive gear might help out, i think 3.73 would be nice

Are you guys sure those gears in those pickups will fit in the 8.5 inch rear? If so i can put them in my 80 Z28 rear then? Its stock 8.5 from the factory with 3.73. I would like to go 3.23 if possible.

SSZ

Denmah, that pick of the 4L80e opened up, are you installing the transgo shift kit? Any other mods?
