"rough" estimate is to mark the tire and turn the pinion(or driveshaft and count the number of rotations of the pinion/driveshaft needed in order to get one full revolution. If it takes a hair over 3 revolutions of the driveshaft to get one full tire revolution....you have roughly 3.08 gears.
your truck probably has maybe 4:57 or there about...
you might find a tag or stamp on the rear axle/pumpkin saying what you have
