'73 highboy D60 rear question.
My son asked if the Dana 60 rear diff on his '73 highboy came from the factory with a locker, or was it limited slip, or just a plain diff. I had no answer for him. He said that on a wet street it was driving like it had a locker.
My guess is that if it has a locker, it was installed (or welded) by a previous owner, but I would like to provide him with a definitive answer.

1) Yes, the limited slip rear axle was an option. If the rating plate on the driver's door is intact, tell us the code under AXLE.
2) Someone may have added a locker or welded the spider gears at some point in the 34 years of its life.
