axle decoding

I have what I'm pretty sure is a Dana 60, It has the little number 60 by the diff cover, off of an early 80's 3/4 ton dodge. My dad had a good idea of finding out the gearing ratio in the dodge rearend and if it closer to the ratio I want then to just swap that in my ford instead of spending alot on a gear set for my ford rearend. The problem is that the axle tag is gone and I dont think the dodge has the original cab so how can I find out the ratio?

The axle is not on the truck.

Would there be numbers on the ring gear?

Take alook here, you can identify it by the shape of the cover:

Shape wise its the dana 60 or 70. It has a number 60 by the diff cover so I would have to say it is a dana 60.
