Thanks for the .pdf! Unfortunately, page 6 says "5.7L". The previous owner, who's been pretty reliable on the info so far, said it originally had a 454. Page 23 lists ratios for the 7.4L, and it lists 3.42, 3.73, 4.10, and 4.56. Seeing as it's SRW and not DRW, I can probably eliminate the 4.56 which was only an option on the 10K GVWR trucks. That does get me closer, and the more I look at it, the more a 6L80 looks like my goal.Page 6 of this PDF says 3.42 with the manual transmission.
I got the truck in the shop on Tuesday, got the Caddy frame and trailer put away yesterday, and today I was able to focus on cleaning out the bed.
If you find your horseshoe facing up like this you catch good luck, like finding a gooseneck hitch under all that garbage!

I filled Way Cool Jr's bed with scrap metal, and refilled my trash bin halfway with debris and mouse poop.
The other day another of my co-workers stated, "I don't understand why he has such a mouse problem, with all them big, fat copperheads he's killed."
Umm... I'm guessing the mouse problem is why he has such a big, fat copperhead problem.
The bed's not clean, but it is cleaned out. It's not pretty, it's dented, but it doesn't have any rust holes. It's going to get the same cheap rattle-can bed liner treatment that Way Cool Jr got. Buy the cheap stuff, keep a couple cans on hand, and touch up is a breeze. I do want to crawl under the truck and see if the gooseneck fixture has loose nuts underneath or if they're welded to the bed, because I'd really like to pull it off and clean whatever is under there, be it mouse poop or hungry copperheads.

The tailgate was a bit dorked and I had to use a long, flat screwdriver to open it, but WCJr's was dorked when I got it, and now I know how to get the tailgate working smooth. I'll tackle that and getting the last seatbelt out tomorrow. I already have my shopping lists made, and I might hit Pull-A-Part for a few essentials, even though I don't have the title yet.
