One ring has some slight damage and he wants to run it in the front unless he can find a replacement. How the heck do you interprete ring gear numbers heres what is written ( 11 1 94 DANA D 37768 P8L119 41 11 )?

Does anyone have one sitting around?
In my experience that's pretty unusual to have the ring gear bolts sheared off, especially both front and rear.......anyway, on to the ring gear numbers:

11 1 94 = manufacture date, not sure if it's Nov. 1 or Jan. 11, but 1994
Dana = self explanatory
37768 P8L119 = probably a part number/serial number or combination
41 11 = 41 is number teeth on the ring gear, 11 is teeth on pinion. Gear ratio is 41/11 = 3.73
