It would be easier/cheaper to swap the gears.

yes actualy that is what i want to do just swap the gears but i want to get them used also i want to inspect them to ensure that i dont get ones that have to much wear on them
the thing about getting them used is because they are cheaper all i need to buy is the speedo gear for my new gears but i dont know witch one

i tink that the ones in the ford ranger (3.45:1) would do since i allready have a shiftkit on my tranny

Used gears just about 99% of the time will whine .

Any parts shop should be able to get the correction.

you might try Dallas Mustang to be sure.
