Default Chevy 3/4 ton full time four wheel drive

I have a 1976 Chevy 3/4 ton with full time four wheel drive. i was wondering if it has posi trac? If one tire goes in the air will the other side still spin? I'm hoping all four tires spin no matter what. Thanks

easy way to tell is jack rearend up and spin wheels if both tires spin same direction then chances are it a posi or locker and if they spin opposite ways then its usually its limited slip and if just one wheel spins its single traction. Thats how I have always checked which some one might have an easier way so correct me if Im wrong.

Man if they do that thing will be horrible on the asphalt. Is this a daily driver?
