Pull the cover and look for broken parts. If you find any, you have a gov loc.

A 14 bolt is a little harder to tell as compared to a 12 or 10 bolt. You have to look in the little hole of the carrier.  The one with the arrow has a detroit locker you can see part of the spring.  The other is a open spider assembly

Heres a pic of the new axles, their in pretty good shape...


They dont need much the dana 44 just needs the manual locking hubs from my 10 bolt since one of the hubs on the 44 is broke.  Other than that its perfect, i'm just gonna replace the ball joints, tie rods calipers, brake lines, u joints, steering stablizers and get the rotors re-surfaced at the shop I work at.  The 14 bolt only need a new cover since the bottom of the cover has excessive rust, brake lines and a brake drum overhaul kit.  The left side brake is stuck on so the drum wont move, that should be fun getting that drum off.
