Arrow Rear-End Code

I was wondering what this axel code stands for. B4R is the axel code of the door plate. i know the axel is a dana 60 but does it stand for the ratio or no. i looked on the axel housing and the numbers are rusted over and i can't make them out. can anyone tell me what ratio came in the dana 60. Thanks ahead of time.

1978 F-250 Ranger Explorer 4x4 351M, c-6, np205, dana 60

Many ratios came in the D60. Check with the rating plate decoder in the FAQ sticky thread at the top of this forum.
