Question What gear ratio do I have for each gear?

My truck has a standard 3-speed transmission and I was wondering what are the gear ratios for each gear? I'm pretty sure it's completely stock. Also; what exactly would you call my tranny? Any thoughts? Thanks for any input.

I wish someone did I have looked all over the internet for this and I still have no clue. The only thing I've been able to gather is that 1st gear is 3.03, i think, because that's what every website that I've seen calls it, the Ford 3.03. I'd really like to know because I'm stuffing one into my truck pretty soon and want to know so i can decide if i should swap out my stock 3.50 gears to something higher or lower. Oh, and its a Toploader.

Here are a couple sites to pick through.

Can only assume top is 1:1, most are.
