Axle code info:



Your front axle is a Ball joint Dana 60 with 4.10 gears. The C5 reference is for the rear axle, which is a Sterling 10.25 I believe.

The limited slip is in the rear axle. C5 is the code for the rear axle. It's implied the front axle is also 4.10. Without looking at the vehicle data tag on the driver side b-pillar (donor) or getting the info from the tag on the axle or opening it up you will not know for sure whether it actually has 4.10 gear and limited slip is a guess.
