Question What does my plate decode to?

I tried a decoder, but it said it was built in Kansas and that the diff was 3.55
and it was not sure on the tranny.
Plus, I read somewhere that if the dipstick is on the front that I have a car engine and not a truck.
Any ideas about that?

Well thanks, you know I had it in my head that I had a 3.73 rear end, and have thought that for a while now.
So I did not think the info was correct.
So now I know better.
Now then, is this a good ratio for towing?
I used to have a 10' camper I hauled, but now have an old 1989 18.5 Fifth wheel I will tow now, is this a good rear end for towing?
Thanks again, for helping me out here.

Sigh...cross-posting. I saw this in the 335 series engine forum.

Your truck is a 2WD. The dipstick is correct.
