Without the build sheet how can you tell. Most of the pik n save Blazers have the dash ripped to shreads

You can't without opening up the rear end. Aside from a visual inspection, verification from the RPO sheet or VIN breakdown there are no other means of knowing what the truck came with.

You can kinda tell the ratio by spinning the tires one revolution and counting the number of times the drive shaft rotates. if it spins three and a half times, roughly, it's probably a 3.42. If it's closer to three and three quarters times, it's a 3.73. There's not really a way to tell if it has the G80, though, without the rpo sheet, or opening the diff up.

good luck! Although even if you do find a g80, no guarantee it will work. Mine doesn't.
