Default you may have one or the other
You may have either all wheel ABS or two wheel rear ABS but you do have ABS yes.

Most likely you only have rear ABS, which in my experience really doesn't do much.

Smile How correct you are on that point
The back brakes are kind of worthless if you have the 9" drum brakes but don’t worry the front disk brakes stop just great my back brakes were shot for years and never knew it I just did a complete R/R of the back brakes and they were frozen the wheel cylinders were locked in place.

How funny and pathetic

Rear abs only and my buddy used to haul a double axle trailer loaded around 5k and his truck did fine just have slow down earlier when you want to stop.
