rear gears?

I picked up a nice 87 stepside silverado 2wd last fall. It's got the 305 tbi with 700r4. It's not a powerhouse, but then again it gets great gas mileage. Right now it's covered up under 2 feet of snow.

Anyone know of an easy way of determining what the rear axle ratio is without opening up the rear? I've heard of rotating the driveline 1 turn and counting the revs of the rear wheels. Any other suggestions?
