I'd give Randy's Ring and Pinion a call, they're pretty helpful and sell tools as well.

Open up the front axle and look on the ring gear should be stamped on it.

You don't say what you are working on, but the stock gear ratio is on the broadcast sheet if still legible, under the hood or in the jockey box. VIN decoder might help as well. All the original differentials I have seen have a number tag, 3.54. 3.9, 4.1 etc. Front and back need to be the same right?
If you have the old one on the bench, ring teeth count divided by pinion teeth count is the ratio. Like wise, in the truck, might be little had to manage, but one exact full axle turn will yield a number of driveshaft turns equal to the ratio. Lot of ways to go about it.
