Question Need help figuring out gear ratio

I have a '82 F-250 with the TTB front end and Dana 60 rear end, and im trying to figure out what the factory gear ratio was on the truck. I have to get the rear end rebuilt and i really dont wanna mess up

Take a pic of the door sticker. These geniuses around here will tell you everything from that. They can decode that the way a fat man knows the ingredients of a peanut butter cookie

Just be sure nobody's swapped to a different gear ratio, then the information on the sticker would be useless.

Thank y'all, and im fairly sure they havent messed with the gears yet. They bought it from an old farmer and used it as a mud truck till the rear end lock ed up. Then it sat till i bought it
