1983 7.5 gears?

My dad is trying to tell me that the factory 7.5 rear end in 1983 had 3.23 gears. i originally thought they had the 2.73's but does anyone here know?

more than likely 2.73
look at the AX code on your door tag

if the tag is still on the rear end it will tell the ratio also , then no guess work
as long as the gears have not been changed and the old tag left on it ?

I think they are 308 gears. jack up the pumpkin and turn the wheel one full revolution and see how many times the driveshaft turnes, If its 2 and 3 quarters then 273. If its almost exactly 3 turnes. 308
