... the stock weight of an 1st gen 126 SD is 3200lbs... approximately the same weight as the empty truck... put anything in the bed, and it's much heavier than the "modern aerodynamic" sedan!
the much taller tires and barn door front end, I'd stick with the 3.07 or go with a 3.46 even...
if you can get an overdrive transmission to go with the truck, I'd put in the 3.69 or find a 4.10 rear gear...
