Help with rearend tag.

This rearend came out of a 79 F100, I got it give to me so I need to see what gear it is or if its a LS rearend also.

Tag: WDM CJ 8MC
2 75 9 356A
This number is stamped in it, 8L27

The truck had a 302 with a C6 trans in it. Thanks Scott

Thank You, I had a feeling it was a 2.75 when I seen that. I was hoping it was a better gear than that. Thanks again for the help. Scott
