BIGGY,

The rear axle ID is stamped on the differential carrier. It should look something like this (on a 1000 series 1965 Chevrolet truck):

HD 1020

HD = ratio = 4.11
10 = month built = October
20 = day built = 20th day

HH also = 4.11
HA or HC or HE or HF or HG or HQ = 3.73
HB = 3.07

You most likely have a 4.11 and the 3.07 would be nice but I bet it is rare.
