3800 rpms all day long on the highway!
Well, you will never wear that clutch out from slipping it to get moving!

3.73 gears? I've never seen them taller than 4.63s...and some have 5.13s!
I managed about 12 from an F550...7.3 PSD and 4.88 gears, about 11,500lbs empty, 19,000 loaded.
It had 5.13s when I bought it, top speed was 63-65 MPH, couldn't run with interstate traffic. Had an Eaton limited slip diff & 3.73s put in it, now it can run 75-80, after a 3 mile full throttle run! Tempted to do a 12V transplant...

Correct, you could still get the C6 in 1990. The truck could have either one.
Bad thing is-a 460 with the C6 would eat you alive in gas, the E4ODs of that era were GARBAGE, we had E-250s in the early '90s-they all ended up blowing up & rebuilt, some more than once. No way it would last in something that big & heavy.

No, they were HD E-250s, full float rear axle, & also 2 14' E-350 cutaways with liftgates-those were the ones that ate transmissions!
