Did the 73-74 12 bolts come with the posi option?
Look at the parts books. Axle codes are in the first section.

1974 KAD was a C10 axle equipped with a locking diff and 3.07 gears.

You can see that some of the 73 P & G series Vans had positraction. so... GM differentiated between the locker and posi. I don't believe the 73-91 CK trucks got Positrac. Don't use limited slip additive in this axle if it has the original Eaton Locker.
