In 85, 33 is for 3.54 to 1, and 35 is 4.11 to 1. That doesn't really help though

is it an auto or manual? A lot of auto f-250s came with 3.54s, and at least in '85, all the manual F-250HDs i've seen have 4.11s.

OIC. I kinda thought it might be posi. With fords, it seems like if it has a letter in it, its a posi.
