What gear ratios were offered in 71/72?

I just dragged a 71 or 72 swb 4wd frame home (has disc brakes) and have a few questions, the front is a dana 44?? and the rear is a 12 bolt. I pulled the rear cover to try and check the ratio, but cant see the pinion clear enough to count the teeth. Also, being new to the 4x4 game, did the dana44 come factory in these trucks? Thanks!

See the numbers 14:43, so if memory serves me right that means it is a 3.07 ratio? heres a few pics of rusty.
