Need help with axle code

Ive got an 84 F250 4X4 with a Dana 60 and I was wondering if someone could decode my axle tag. I think it has a 3.54:1 ratio, I checked my axle code B3 on drivetrain.coms list and it didnt show up so I wasnt sure so I figured I ask.
It reads 3 54 E5TA BGA
605169-8 LS
It also has an upside down triangle before E5TA but I didnt know if it meant anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much. What exactly does the 5.3M stand for?
