    Welding up the spiders is not a good idea for the street!!! A posi unit would be the best way to go. Pull the rear end cover off of yours and see for sure what it is.....

    Maybe I am wrong ...would not be the first time, but I have always thought if you jack the back off the ground and spin one wheel, if the other wheel spins in the same direction it is a locker. If it spins in the opposite direction it is an open wheeler.
