Jerry,
You can buy the 2.72 gears new, but they are expensive.
http://www.superioraxlegear.com/dana-ring-pinion-gear-p-10705.html
I found one used set on ebay ($75) and the other on Craigslist ($50).
2.72 gears came in:
77-79 Grand Wagoneers and Jeep Cherokees
77-79 Ford F100/F150
There are others that I don't know about

Mark,
That's why I am looking at installing 2.72 rearend gears with my wide ratio
toploader that has the 2.90 first gear from David Kee Toploaders. Compared
to
the 2.88 rearend, this would be equivalent to a .94 overdrive in fourth gear
and first gear would still be 2.74.
The tranny conversion cost me about $275 and the rearend gears were $75.

I was looking at gas prices today and that "fuel economy" idea is looking
pretty good:-)
