65 C10 Rear End Question

It really depends on what you use the truck for and how its equipped.

As mentioned, there are spools, true lockers and limited slips. Personally, I prefer a true Detroit locker. When on a budget I use a lock-right type set up.

I would not use a locker with a standard transmission. With an auto they are fine. You do have to learn how to drive with one. Basically, it is like a spool when you press the gas. When turning you must let off.

The reason I like a locker is because both wheels pull when you are on the gas, even is a tire is in the air, or on ice, or on wet grass. I have seen people "stuck" with their limited slips on a wet lawn slightly off camber.
