does my truck....
have an LSD?
how can i tell? would there be a code in the VIN or anything? i looked for tags on the diff cover and axle but i didnt find anything on the rear.... there was a DANA stamp on the front and a tag with a bunch of numbers but over the years, it got hard to read.

Call your local parts dept with the VIN and askif it is the open or limited slip rear.(If they get ****ty, tell 'em you want to know so you get the right parts when you order them from them.BS 'em a little if you have to.)
The axle codes off of the front will do nothing for you as the fronts NEVER have limited slip.

i knew the front was open but it seemed strange to me that the front cover would have stampings and the rear would be blank...

I know on my '04, there is a plug going into the top of the "pumpkin" that controls the LSD....Yours may be different, but a plug going into the top is a good clue.

Stomp on it when you are taking off at a corner, WHERE YOU CAN SAFELY, see if the tire inside the turn spins...and there you go. If it does then you got LSD, if not you have anti-slip.
