You may not have a Dana 60 rear axle

 RS2182 was the engine in a 1963 R-3808.

[Rear axle gear ratio]

The Caprice had a 700-R4, made for good gas mileage.  It has a 3.06 first gear ratio.   Axle ratios for them started at 2.73 which gave higher highway speeds with low engine rpm.    The downside of using them with a higher geared axle is that 1st gear is 0-15mph, then an abrupt (to say the least) shift to 2nd.  You cannot start out in 2nd gear...

 The 200-4R, developed later,  has more normal ratios, something like a 2.56 first gear  and is much more comfortable to use, so your axle would likely be around 3.31 - 3:54    

[Rear axle gear ratio]

Regardless of the type, the transmissions dictated the axle ratio
