Being Austrailian, that might explain the 5 liter engine in a f350. Ford did install our 302 in the lighter duty f250's which is somewhat interesting in itself. I always felt the 302 was a bit too small for the f150.
If the numbers are going to do no good, and you do not have the tags, the only sure fire way I know is to jack up both rear tires, and get someone to help you turn both rear tires 1 revolution, while watching the driveshaft(you might want to mark the shaft).
Over here, the most common ratios for 4x4 f350's are a 3.55 or a 4.10. So when you turn both tires 1 turn, and the shaft turns about 3 1/2 turns, you know you have a 3.55. If it turns 4 turns, you know you have a 4.10. I believe they did have a 4.56 and the 2wd trucks had some lower ratios, like a 3.08 which would be 3 turns of the driveshaft.
