This isn't much tech, but it is 80 related. Three stories for you:
- guy in our club is looking for an LX. Finds one in Chicago, does it have lockers?, "Yes". Arranges to have the guy drive it from there to Denver, he'll fly from Salt Lake and meet him in Denver. They'll swap and go home. Well, they meet and it turns out lockers is the OD button on the shifter.
- I go look at an 80 for a fellow mudder. Seller told him it had lockers. I get there, see no dial, ask about it and the guy gleefully starts punching the power lock/unlock button.
- another guy in our club finds an 80 in Kentucky. Got lockers? Yes. Flies out and finds out it's just the CDL ('93 truck), no axle lockers.
So, the moral is, GET PICTURES. I think it was Junk that'd heard of a truck that had the dial, but no wiring, so I'd even suggest a good close pic of the whole VIN tag, and look for the magic 294 number.
