I thought you had a corporate 10-bolt rearend (don't ask me why I thought that), the 2.41 was a fairly common ratio for them.
But I cannot remember a '58-'64 application that would have had a 2.41 ratio. That ratio wasn't used during '55-'57, 3.36 was as high as they got IIRC. I know it prolly doesn't matter that much one way or the other but I wonder if there was a 2.41 used from the factory during the "Hotchkiss" era.
