If you look on the rear differential cover there will be a tag that will tell you.

if it was an auto , most likely 3.27's if it was a 5 spd 2.73 or 3.08, but best bet is look on the tag

Axle codes:
M = 2.73's AOD or 5 speed
Z = 3.08's 5 speed
E = 3.27's AOD

If you still have the 89 Vehicle ID tag on the Drivers Door this is from the
89 Ford Shop Manual .
