E150 axle code

I just got a 78 E150, and would like to know what it has for an axle. The code on the door tag is 13, and it appears to be a big bearing 9".

I can't check the axle tag right yet due to excessive crud, but I'm intending to steam the underside early this week if nobody knows the code.

I can't find any specific info on that axle code but going by what I have seen it's probably somewhere between 2.50-3.00:1 with an open diff.

When I ran it through a decoder, it came up as a 2.75 3750lb...

I spent a good hour with the van and my steam cleaner after work today, man that thing was a mess. I have about 1/2" layer of freed dirt on my trailer now-
The doorjamb sticker says GAWR rear 3850lbs, the axle tag says 2.75 gears. Now I just need to get going on fixing it. I did start it yesterday, it wasn't too sure on running but fired up.
Oh yeah, I dug a series of holes in my driveway with my wife's Jeep getting it back off the trailer.
