Quick rear end question

do our trucks (the 10 bolts) have 28 spline axles & are they 8.5? Does this look like the right posi for it? Thanks...corn

i had the stock peg leg 10 bolt on my truck. Bought a 12 bolt for it a gov lok & 3.73's. It broke after a few monthes. I guess the heavy pedal through turns tore it up. I had an Eaton Posi installed. Works great now.

The gov lov was kinda fun when i had it. I could feel it engage in turns.
