Just bought a flat bed bedford....what diff do they run???

hey rumax why did I need to multiply by 2 mate???......I thought one roatation of the wheel to turns of shaft gave the correct ratio?.....am I missing something simple buddy?......but about 2.6 turns would be spot on for your calculations so I,m guessing your right,.....I,ll await your reply....thanks for taking time to help too.

basically, to quote Gordon "The wheel had to make two rotations. Ben made the point in his posting that you need to make sure that the jacked up wheel makes 2 rotations as it is essentially doing the work of two wheels" this is quoted from the diff section.  Option B is to jack up 1 wheel, rotate it once, then lower it and jack up the other wheel and rotate once........ Now I have never heard of a diff with DIFFERENT RATIO's for each side, so just rotate ONE SIDE twice..... or multiply by 2    Cheers Russell.
