Hi All,  My question: Will installing  a 3.27 PG differential get me better 
 mileage on my '63 Rampside? I currently have 3.55. And I am referring to  d
riving long distances on the open road. Thanks all.

Tim - In 1975 I "TransVaired" a 68 VW Camper with a Corvair 110HP  PG from 
a 65 coupe - It had a 3.27 gear in it that made it a pain to drive  in the 
hills. The sucker would go 70MPH on the flat, if you could keep it on the  
road. But if you hit any kind of hill at less than 65MPH, you would have to 
drop  it down and go up in Low Gear at 45MPH. Stick with the 3.55!
