Your reverse ratio seems a bit steep, but the rest look pretty close. I can get the exact numbers for you tomorrow. Yes, the NP 435 is a wide ratio tranny. The NP445 is its "close Ratio" cousin. The 445 is syncro in all forward gears, but does not have the "granny low" 6.5 first gear. Most 3/4 tons came with the 435, as they were meant as work trucks, but 1/2 tons and 3/4 tons spec'd for camper duty are likely to have the 445. J.V.L.
