I am no expert by no meaning in TOYOTA, but you should be able to contact your local dealership with a valid VIN #. Ask for a build sheet for it, which will tell you every option available when it was built. I would recommended as it looks like he has a 95' mid-year change date....
Put it in 4wd high, and the transmission in neutral (if he has ADD, you will need the truck running when you shift it into 4wd and then shut it down before jacking it up).
jack up one side, and put a mark on the driveshaft with a marker. Spin the wheel in the air for TWO complete revolutions, and count the number of times the shaft spins. Just a little past 4, you have 4.10's, 4 and 1/3 on the shaft is a 4.30 gearset (not too likely), 4.5 turns, is a 4.56 gearset (aftermarket if he has it), and nearly 5 is a 4.88 gearset (could be with the auto).
Make sure you rotate twice. With one wheel in the air, the differential causes the ring to need twice as many spins to spin the pinion once as it does with both wheels spinning.
Cheers!

I just looked at the product brochure on toyotareference.com. The 1995 with the 3.0 and 4-speed auto has 4.56:1 R&Ps without the 31" tire package and 4.88:1 with the 31" tire package.

Also, If jacking up the truck is a problem, You can pull the speedo from the Transmission, and count the little plastic gear teeth. You can reference these online to determine your gearing.
The only potential problem, is the '95 came with either a mechanical or an electrical speedo connection. I did this for a mechanical, I am not sure what the electrical one looks like.
