Positraction? Front or rear?

Another new member to the Blazer board. My service decal lists "G80 positraction axle". Does that mean that the rear end is posi or both front and rear? Thanks
Joshua

rear only I think. I am no expert, but I do not believe the front ever came with a posi, but if I am wrong, someone will let us both know.

There was a positrac for the dana 44 but I'm not sure if you could get it in a first gen blazer (as 70rs/ss said).

Actaully, I think it was called a Trac-lok (that's what I have) and I think there were Power-loks available too.

As far as I know, rear axle only from the factory

Keith, No, this is a different one. I posted some pictures in another thread. "Official member of the club"
