Are you sure you're looking in the right place? It will require a GOOD cleaning, and the numbers will be stamped exactly 6" out from the pumpkin, at about 2'o'clock, on the passenger side axle tube. It should be something like Txx.

Do I need to look for another new number?
Does this one not mean anything?

In these old rear ends you never know if someone changed the ratio at any point in time. The best way to find the ratio is to take off the diff. cover and take a look at the ring gear. On the outside part of the ring gear there will be two numbers. Take these two numbers and divide them, this will tell you what ratio you have. For example you might see the numbers 41 12 which comes out to be a 3.42 ratio
