Depending on location I might be interested.

Agreed that 4.10’s are the most common and are usually the standard ratio for 350’s, 6.2’s & 454’s if no ratio is specified and for the 292’s a 4.56 is standard with the other two ratios being optional in the K-30’s.
Also, cab chassis 6.2’s often use a 4.56 as the standard gear.
And of course the CUCV stuff was all 4.56’s but I think you’re talk’n about civilian trucks.

From all that I’ve personally put my hands on over the years the 4.10’s are the leader in C-20/30’s & K-20/30’s but 4.56’s are a close second with 3.73’s coming in last as least common.

Just a list of some K-20’s & K-30’s ratios that I’ve delt with or have passed through my hands - none of these were CUCV’s.

Just pointing out to always check the ratios on a set of axles that are for sale on our civilian spec’d squares - 4.10’s a safe bet but 4.56’s are fairly common too ( especially on Cab Chassis trucks ) and from my experience the 3.73’s are the least common on K-30’s.
Like ya said 3.73’s does seem to be a little more common towards the later models from things I’ve read and listings that are posted.

My 1991 crew cab had 4.56 it was a 350/4l80E.
My 1985 crew cab 6.2 was 4.10, same as the 1980 with a 350.
Never got my hands on a 3.73, but my friend who bought my 1986 crewcab C&C diesel 2wd with 4.56 ended up changing the gears to 3.73 for better mileage.
I am now a proud owner of that axle. Been sitting in my backyard for 15 years
