Counting Teeth

True, counting the teeth is surely a positive way to determine axle ratio , if your center section has a cover to pull. I assume the Ford truck axle mentioned above has a cover. Oldsmobile rear axles in full sized cars did not use a rear cover until about 1965, as I recall. Counting the gear teeth in earlier units would involve pulling both axles , disconnecting the driveshaft, and pulling out the center section carrier.
