What is the C3 axle code?

I have searched and searched today to try and find out what the rear axle in a 1983 F-250 4wd with 6.9 diesel, is and what it's ratio is. The door code is C3 and I have found every other code on charts except this one. I am assuming its a LS version. I already checked the axle for a tag, there was none.(Suprise, suprise). Anybody know this one or where I can find a GOOD chart for these older models? Everything Ive found has to do with newer stuff.

Thanks for your help!

The trailer towing section in your owners manual will probably have this info.

I just realized I posted in the wrong diesel forum. Mods feel free to move this to the pre PSD section. My mistake.

That's the prob, I don't have the manual and the chilton is next to useless.

Anyone else?
