Default Diff Ratio I.D.?

Just bought a 99 (I'm 3rd owner of this LS1 6 sp convertible) and could not get original sticker indicating rear axle ratio. How/where can I get this info?

I seem to remember that GM or Corvette Museum can supply build sheet if I send in the VIN. True?

Comments appreciated.

The original axle ratio was 3.42. This was the only ratio available on 6spd cars.

There is a chance there may be something else physically in it now...but a window sticker or build sheet wouldn't help you with that.
