Thats a gov lock. They work as a posi under a certain speed and then its a non posi over that speed.

Re: Is this a posi???
They go by several derogatory terms...deservingly so.
They are "marginal" at best, but.....in a completely stock truck, driven responsibly, they can survive for quite some time. With high performance engines, bigger tires, wild/crazy driving.....they don't do well.

Re: Is this a posi???
I don't think it matters what that mess is. Look at the chunks missing from the spiders and side gears.

Re: Is this a posi???
With the side gears like that you might hear some noise going around corners, but they shouldn't cause a problem going straight ahead. I would say run it like that till it blows (which could be a long time, depending on how you drive) and then replace it with a normal posi or a True-trac.
