'39 pattern civilian = 4.30s, 7.50 x 16" wheels and 60 mph.
'41 1/2 ton WC = 4.89s in a small 8.75" housing and 55 mph (governed) on 7.50 x 16 wheels
'42 3/4 ton WC = 5.83s, first in the small 8.75" housing and later in the bigger 9 5/8" housing that carried into the 6x6 and M37
from memory you can put the 4.30 and the 4.89 in almost any early axle.
