No, not all W-300's have 4.88 ratio. Some had 5.83's and the manual lists a 4.10, though I have never seen or heard of one. The Spicer 70 axels were available in 4.56 as well. The parts are available from many sources, but there is a different differential carrier used for ratios below 4.10 than for the 4.56 and above. I have spoken with Eric at West Coast Differential in Sacramento, CA 800-510-0950 and he is very knowlegeable and helpful. They have Spicer 70 4.10 gear sets for $212, shim sets for $42, and carriers for $83, or Power-Lok carrier for $196. They have some used parts for less.
