i dint see eney other numbers after the 72

 

and how come the trans has a tag saying only limited slip diff flued if it a no limited slip

 

There is no such thing as Limited Slip fluid. Trans ID tag has no reference of any kind inre to rear axle fluid.

When Limited Slip is present, 4 ounces of friction modifier is added to the rear axles 90 weight gear lube.

Here's a pic of the New Process 435 4 speed TRANS ID tag. Do you see any reference to fluid? No and I don't either.

 

i dint mean on the tran i was refering to the one on the rear diff

 

Maybe some form of a limited slip was installed after the truck was sold and the tag was added at that time.

1965 F250 AXLE code 24: Spicer/Dana 60 4.10-1 without Limited Slip.

1965 F250 AXLE code B4: Spicer/Dana 60 4.10-1 with Limited Slip.

1959 thru today: If the AXLE code begins w/a letter: Limited Slip / If with a number: No Limited Slip.

2nd pic: Spicer/Dana 44/60/60.2/60.3/70 parts catalog example of rear axle tag & Limited Slip tag:

 

In our trucks with the Dana 60 rear axle, the most common limited slip is a Spcer Power-Lok. Today there are other units for the 60, but from the time the trucks were new up into the late '70s and early '80s the Power-Lok was king. The Power-Lok is the unit your truck would have come with, if it had been a factory install, or if a dealer had converted it "back in the day".

A quick way to see if your rear axle might be a Power-Lok is to pull the rear avle fill plug and take a peek inside. A factory non limited slip (open) carrier is cast steel and you will see the natural cast surface of the carrier. A Power-Lok, and possibly other types of limited slips, has a machined carrier. When looking through the fill plug opening you will see a smooth, bright, machined surface.
You may need to lift both rear tires and have someone turn one of them to posistion the carrier so it can be seen through the fill opening.

As long as you have the truck in the air and are spinning a tire (by hand), check the other tire. If it is spinning the same direction as the one you are spinning, grab it. If you can't stop it you have a limited slip. If it stops either your limited slip isn't working or you have an open differential. If the second tire spins the opposite direction as the one you are turning you have an open differential.

Don't know how much one could see peering thru that tiny fill plug hole. Removing the inspection cover will give a far greater view.

"Locking" refers to Power-Lok aka Limited Slip.

 

You can see the difference between a cast surface and a machined surface..
