Looks like you could have a pretty good trail rig with a cutting torch and some softer suspension...

im guessing ZF plantetary axles. 6:1 reduction in the planetaries, and ~22:1 in the diffs.
kinda like these
EDIT:
~22:1 ratio in the axles alone, then the 6:1 in the planetaries

I saw on another truck like that the top speed was 25 mph. Thats some serious gearing...
