Been looking at 06-07 F350 do all come with the 4:10 gears or can you get 3:57 in them.

Are you looking at a DRW (dually) with gas or diesel engine, a SRW (single rear wheel) with gas or diesel? With SRW F350 4.10 and 4.30 are available with V10 gas engines, 3.73 and 4.10 are available with 5.4L V8 gas engines, and 3.55 and 3.73 are available with diesel engines, OR if you're talking about DRW it's different still. So, what F350 are you talking about, with what engine, with what transmission?

For the model years '06 & '07 with the V10 engine 4.10 & 4.30 were available in both the dually and SRW pickups. Equipped with the 6.0 diesel only 3.73 was available in both SRW & dually, 4.10 & 4.30 available on the dually only. No other ratios were available in those years. The 3.55 ratio is a recent addition to the option list ('09 & '10) and the 3.31 ratio added for 2010.

My 07' F350 Tow Boss came with 4.30ls and the price you pay is higher rpm at a lower speed so at 65mph it turns about 2000rpm to 2100rpm.

I didn't see it mentioned, but the 5.4L V8 came with 3.73 or 4.10.

I know you didn't ask for opinions about which rear, but it's free. I drove a 350 crew longbed V-10 last year with 4.30's. I thought it would be really jumpy out of the hole, 'cause my 5.4 with the 4.10's is. It wasn't as bad as my truck! Must be the taller overall tire diameter. It drove really well. I have to be careful how much pedal I give mine in certain close quarter situations, but that 350 was very nice given the low gears and extra ponies.

I was leaning towards a dually with the 6.0 but all I've found is ones with the 4:11 gears.
