Axle code question

I'm looking at a 80's L8000 parts truck ( I need the rear axle)

I need help Id'ing it. Its an air brake eaton 2 speed with 5 spoke Dayton wheels. ID tag is gone. Door code says axle is DPP

Anyone know what ratio this is supposed to be?

Help greatly appreciated.

First two digits of the AXLE code refer to the rear axle. 3rd digit of the AXLE code is related to the front axle.

DP = Eaton model 23221 Two Speed Rear Axle / 6.17/8.40 / 23,000 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.

P = Rockwell-Timken model FF-903 12,000 lbs. Capacity Front Axle with Power Steering.
