I would guess a 3.55 to 1 gear ratio, with the 3 having a hole punched in it for the bolt going through the tag. I see no "L" so it must not be limited slip.

I thought the same thing but when I had the truck in the snow for the first time the limited slip worked. My grandpa said when he bought the truck they said it had limited slip. Contrary to the axle code on the factory sticker. Which would mean that a limited slip carrier was installed at the dealership.
