Write down the vin number and go to a Chevrolet dealer and ask at the parts dept. They should be able to tell as long as it has not been changed.

Generally there is a tag bolted onto the rear end that specifies what the gear ratio is. You can also jack the rear edn up and put the tranny N turn the driveline by hand and count how many times it takes you turning the driveshaft a full revolution for the wheels to make a full revolution. Or you can pop the rear end cover off drain the fluid count the number of teeth on the ring gear and divide that by the number of teeth on the pinion gear, THIS is the best way to do it because the gear oil in the rear end needed to be changed anyways and you can inspect the gears/bearings to see if they are up to snuff.

If you do take the diff cover off there are 2, 2 digit numbers on the crown gear that can be divided into each other,these are the # of teeth on the crown and pinion gear,when divided this will give you the final drive ratio.
