Best siggestion so far is to just go out and find a dirt road. Lock in the front hubs, and run the shifter through every position. Check to see which tires turn when you try to spin the tires up a bit.
You will notice immediately the difference between hi range and low range, and you will know if you have a true 2wd or not.
2wd will only spin the rear tires and will be pretty easy to do. If you have a case that has been converted, this will be true. If the case has not been converted, it will feel as though you are in 4wd all of the time, because in reality, you are.
Note all of the positions and the differences between them.
If you notice that you have two low range settings and two high range settings, then we can assume that you have a stock case, and the second of each setting is the original "LOC" setting.
Dirt roads can tell you what you need.

So I just wanted to let you know that I took it out on a dirt road finally, broke down so I had to save a little cash! So it does drive in 2WD and when the hubs are locked it engages the 4wd, put the tranny in N and shift into LO, works as it should. I did find out thought that you have to put the tanny into N to unlock the hubs, but it all works great! thanks again for all the help!
