axle tag numbers?

Any chance someone here can break down these numbers and see what axle ratio I have with them?

1986 F250/6.9/C6

Axle tag numbers:
V130A
10 10 2 5J09

any help would be appreciated

If you unbolt the tag, I bet you can just make out a "4" that has been almost completely punched out for the bolt to go through. I am betting it goes along with the "10 and you have a 4.10 ratio.

my guess would be 4:10
on the axle tag,you see the first "10" but look real close up by the bolt and you will probably be able to make out the "4:"

on the door jam-drivers side,whats the axle code there?

edit,

Had a minor stroke on the 16th of March. For several days I had blurred vision in one eye, both arms/hands were numb.

Everything seems to be OK...now. Or as OK as I can be. My wife says I'm as ornery as ever.

When you look at the numbers the second line gives the relevant information.
The 3 or 4 will be under the bolt head, and if the tag is in good enough shape you should be able to make out either a . or L to the left of the first two numbers.
. indicates open axle, .10 in your case
L indicates limited slip, L10 in your case.

10 would be 4.10 ratio
55 would be 3.55 ratio

Next three numbers 10 2 is 10.25" 97 and older with a 6.5" x 8 bolt circle
10 5 would be a 10.5" after 99 and have 170 mm x 8 bolt circle
