Oh I’ve heard of your truck. I’m not doubting they made them, just never came across one. So your 9.5 originally came with 4.10’s?
To update, I just got back from my trip to Maine, 2 hours up, same back but in an ice storm. Everything looked good so I grabbed it. Brakes probably no good. I really don’t care as I’m going to go through it and replace whatever it needs. It will also be refinished on exterior. I’m in no rush, the 8.5 functions just fine(for what it is).
I looked over the tubes carefully, seemed solid everywhere. Like you said a very slight wear mark where u-bolts are, all perches and shock mounts solid. I’d take pictures, but it’s crappy out there now and sitting in truck bed under tonneau cover.
