C5 would be 10.25" 4.10 Trak-Lok.
Post up some pics of it, I can't find anything relating to the numbers you posted. Pic of the diff cover, the top of the pumpkin where the VSS should be, and a good shot of the tag on the cover if that's what you're talking about, and of course an overall pic of it.

Ford Axle Code Chart - Ford-Trucks.com
95 F350 axle code? - Diesel Forum - TheDieselStop.com
Edit: this is assuming you have an OBS F250, and NOT the new body style F250 LD. That is an odd axle tag, I honestly have not seen one like that. The ratio has always been on the left followed by the axle designation.
Edit 2: near as I can tell, this would appear to be some type of Dana axle, the part number sequence seems to fit although I haven't been able to match the exact number.

Damn, OK, I figured it out. It's a Dana 61 out of a 1974-75 F250 4x2, with not much other information.

So you have no VSS on the pumpkin?
10 bolts holding the diff cover on?
And in order to access the brakes, you need to remove the axle shaft and wheel bearings?

I am GUESSING they put the dana axle in for the "high" gearing. But talking about downgrading. The dana axles are Junk in comparison to the sterling

how bizarre.someone just had an axle probably when something bad happened because i doubt anyone would go out of their way to buy something oddball when 3.31 isn't much higher than 3.55.
srw 10.25 sterlings in 3.55 and 4.10 are easy to find.go to car-part.com and you'll find either inside a couple mins.you can go with 3.55 if you don't tow large trailers all the time.just because it originally came with a 4.10ls axle doesn't mean you can't grab yourself a touch better fuel economy if the 4.10's would just go unused.well,you've been running near the 3.55 gears,so if they have been acceptable to ya,then just find a 3.55 sterling to make the truck right and still fit your needs.

Old thread: Rear axle has been swapped.
Ford: D5TA-NFA / Dana: 603429-7 = Dana 61-1 rear axle / 3.31-1 / 5,300 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.
Original applications: 1975/79 F250 2WD
