Kind of like trying to find 4.11 gears, when they never made them, but always had 4.10 gears.
So thank you, I am use to 10 bolt stuff which has 3.23 gears.
I will look for 3.21 gears if I cant find any I will go with 3.42 gears.
I don't have to have new gears, I could go for a used set.

Actually, in my salvage yard Saturdays, I have found 4.09:1, 4.10:1, and 4.11:1 gears in GM 10.5s. Some genuine GM, some aftermarket, but all exist. And really, it doesn't matter that greatly which you end up with, even if you have a 4X4 with a front axle 0.02:1 off.
The 3.21:1s are most likely found in C20 C6Ps, but sometimes in C30s. They only came behind 454s, they were mid-'70s to mid-'80s, and were used behind SM465s and TH400s.
This info comes from GM's heritage center.
I've been seeking a set of 3.21s myself, no luck in the last year. The tooth count is 45:14
