You have a Ford 8.8 rear axle and a Dana 35 TTB (Twin traction beam) reverse rotation front axle.

For the gear ratio, unless someone already changed the ring and pinion (the gears) you can look at the tag on the axle, or look at the door tag. Then search for Axle codes and you will be able to decipher them.

Then look at the door sticker for the axle code, or if thats gone, look for the tag on one of the bolts on the front or rear axle. The axle tags will have the code and even have the number listed..

Here is one of the places on here that you can find the axle codes..
