Did you just ask us if your truck was 4 wheel drive?

That's what it looks like to me too plus faulty lighting plus I think I would get the lights working 1st. The 4wd will take care of itself after that plus

If your truck is 4 wheel drive it should have a shifter in the middle of the floor that will say
2hi
4hi
N
4lo

it also should a decal that says "4X4" on the back, but someone could have removed it.

or look under the truck and see if it has a front driveshaft and differential.
