well technically the 5th gear is 1:0 ratio, 6th is .60:1 (Or so)so that is the overdrive

so on the half tons the 6 gear is an od and on a 3/4 and 1 ton with a 6 speed manual the extra gear is a granny gear...

pretty sure that on the 3/4 or 1 tons the first gear is super low and the rest of the gears are just less spread out still with overdrive
