Did any 1932 fords have 4.11 gears stock?? My gears feel super low.

I am running 16x4.5” rims in back with Firestone 16x650 I think they are around 27.5” tire size

Fronts are 16x4” rims with 16x600 Firestone’s
Those may be a tad closer to 27”

Wheels are off a 1940’s ford . I just had custom hydraulic brakes from 1940’s ford cores made for the front and the rear to increase the stopping power
