Need help with Axle code C5

I've got an 87 F250 and the tag on the door says the axle code is C5. Can anyone tell me what the gear ratio/axle is from this?

C5 is rear axle capacity of 6250 lbs and 4.10 gears.

There is a metal tag held on by one bolt on the differential
that has more numbers to futher break down what it is.
