speedometer problem

The rearend in my truck is a newer 9'' 28 spline geared to 3.25. I have no idea what was in it before. I need to figure out if i can adjust the speedometer for it or i just have to get a new one.

I have no apparent damage yet the axle didn't make it all the way out. I had a tow truck lift it up so i could push i back in and towed it the four blocks i had left till i made it home. I am however thinking im in the wrong business cause the tow truck made 80 bucks to go 1/4 of a mile.
