Standard was the 3.54:1 gearing. 3.73:1 and 4.10:1 were the only (factory) options. Personally, I have never seen a factory equipt 3.73:1 axle, but I know they are out there. There should be a build tag on the cover saying what was installed from the factory (it could have been changed by now). Also, on the jamb is an id tag with an axle code that will tell you what the trck came with.
