Locking rear differential
I drive a 1985 Ford F250 Supercab 2WD 6.9L Diesel. I seem to get stuck a bit because one rear wheel will spin while the other does not. Is there a way that I can lock the rear hub? A friend was telling me that he thought in these trucks it was as easy as adding a bolt to the current rear differential. Is that true? I think I would like to be able to lock it. Anyone have any thoughts on that? Is this something that maybe I don't want to have permanently done?

This truck is my farm truck. I use it to haul trailers on the road a bit. I'd just really like to be able to lock the rear diffs when I'm off road. What's the easiest way to make this happen?
