If you're not sure if its got original gears, there's the easy way:
Lift one rear wheel off the ground with trans in N (t-case in 2H) and spin tire 1 rotation while counting rotations of driveshaft.
Or the right way:
Pull the diff cover and count the teeth on both the ring gear and the pinion and divide the two to get you true ratio.
