either way some limited slip additive wont hurt, its better for metal-on-metal action anyway. somethin like castrol 80-90 hypoid i believe is LS compatible anywho so just use that(read the bottle and be sure tho)

This is a valuable piece of info, thanks ND. I found a few rear 9" and 60s in a scrap yard, some from late 70s fords some I don't know from what the older ones had a different tag and no room for a LS designation, but I found 3 verified LS rears and all had LS on the axle tag. Then I went and looked in my 79 ford service manual and it did say that limited slip axles do have a LS on the axle tag. Thanks that will help me in my everoing limited slip search.

1959/67 F100's, some 1968 F100's: If Limited Slip was ordered, Ford installed Dana 44's.
1959/63 Ford/Merc Passenger Cars with a 9" & Limited Slip have a separate tag on the pumpkin at approx. 4 o'clock that has the letter L on it.
Axle ID tag located at approx. 5 o'clock.
