I need some help...gear ratio

Ok I dont know what ratio I have in my 94 F250...351 E4OD. I called the previous owner and he dont know. I cleaned off my front cover for my diff, wire brushed the hell out of the rear and parts of the front. Came up with a bunch of serial number lookin stuff but no 3 numbers by themselves. Its not stamped inside the door either. Anyone know the fastest easiest way to find it.

Yeah its actually a sticker, not stamped, but if that isnt there, post some of the numbers you have found underneath. Someone should be able to decipher it.

Was there a tag of some sorts on the rear end at all?

Is this a 4WD?

Post the AXLE code from the Certification Label, which is on the B Pillar.

Ford beginning in the early 80's used some odd codes like V307, S209, 603010-7, etc on the ID tag...post those "so called" serial numbers you found.
