What speedo gears do I need?

Hey guys!

I'm converting my truck to 4x4 real quick here, and I need to know what gears to get myself. I've got a set of stock steel wheels from a 2002 Chevy 2500 (8 lug, no idea what size the stock tires are) a TH400, and a set of 4.10 gears in the rear diff. Would anyone be so kind as to tell me what speedo gears I'd need to get to make my speedo accurate?

What was the original gear ratio in your truck and what size tires did it come with?

Has 3.73s, and 31" tall tires at the moment. Shes a 3/4 ton, so 8 luggers all around
