What Gears do I Have?
I went to my local junk yard today and pulled what I thought was a Sterling 10.25 out of an E-350 van. (It was the only Ford in the lot that had a full float rear-end). When I got it home, I wanted to know what gears it had so I took off the diff. cover (The tag was un-readable, due to rust). To my surprise, it isn't a Sterling at all, but it's a Dana 80(?). I wasn't able to decipher the numbers on the ring gear, so I was hoping someone here might be able to. The ring gear read as follows: 1856 92195DANA T32503 MAIAU 384 4613
Any help would be great, thanks.

Those ring gear ID numbers aren't shown in the Ford truck parts catalog, what's the diameter of the ring gear?
The Dana ID number I can cross over is stamped on the axle tube.
If you still have the tag, try reading it from the reverse side.

I couldn't find anything stamped on the tubes themselves, but I was able to read some of the numbers on the center section supports.
On the back side there was: 42856, and an AE
On the front side there was: 60-ISU, and what appeared to be S 304
Guessing by those, it isn't a Dana 80, but rather a Dana 60.
The tag is completely shot, can't even read the back side.
It came out of a 1996, if that helps at all.

Ok, went back to the junkyard and wrote down the vin from the van I pulled the axle from. The vin is: 1FTJE34H7THA57518
I also looked at the tag on the driver's door to see what it had under "axle". Although it had nothing under axle, it did have the letter E above it.
Hope this helps a little more...

Ok, just want to make sure my math is right...
I counted 46 teeth on the ring gear, and I couldn't really count the pinion very well, but I believe there was 13.
So, if I divide 46 by 13 it comes out to approx. 3.53 and some change.
Looks like I have to buy new gears...

It's also pretty common for the gear manufacturers to stamp the teeth numbers. You will see the 4613 at the end of the numbers you found on the gear. Sometimes it will be 41-10, 41 10 etc. meaning 4.10 of course.
