It depends. :/
Is it a dangged Chevy? ;)
"Traction Loc" is Ford
"Trac Loc" I was told, is Dana
But the only way to know is with a test...
Jack up one wheel and see if it turns easy by hand.
Alvin in AZ F150, T18, 2wd, Ford 9 inch with Traction Loc ;)

Limited slip is also acceptable. 
You can post the axle code, and that would tell if your truck had Traction lock or not when new.
And some trivia, some Ford 4x4's have/had both front and rear limited slip differentials.

...and here I'm makin' fun of Poore and I didn't spell it right!
...never said I wasn't a butthead. ;)
"Traction Lok" is Ford's name for a limited slip differential.
Poore...
The tag that came on my 9inch sez: 3L25 instead of plain ol' 3.25.
My axle code is H4 from the tag on my door.
What's yours say? :)

The Axle code on the truck will have a letter in it if it's limited slip or traction loc <--- 
IE: H4
or
IE: 3L25
A truck with both front and rear limited slip differentials is a very sought after item.

If I'da ordered a 4wd instead of 2wd in Nov '74 that's what I would have had on mine.
No kidding. :)
No chrome, no radio, no carpet, plastic upholstery but has Traction Lok, dual tanks,
tool box, power brakes and a T18.

And yeah, I forgot... I ordered gauges (of course!;).
I wanted a truck not a car. ;)
