Open, and I don't know if a limited slip was even an option, if it was the axle codes on the drivers door pillar will have 3 characters instead of 2.

You don't want an L/S in the front unless you have manual locking hubs. Auto-locking hubs or no locking hubs are no good either. Without manual locking hubs, the truck will have steering that has a very heavy self-centering effect.
