M35 differential questions

List,
    This may seem like an obvious question that everyone (except me) knows
the answer to, but I haven't found any information to give me a decisive
answer. Granted, I don't have the TM for a M35, which might give me a clue.
Here goes:
     I was wondering if the M35 family of trucks have a positive traction
device in the rear differentials. I always assumed that they had "No-Spin"
or equivalent lockers. Is this true, or are they open differentials???
    I assume that since the front differential can be air activated on the
retrofitted trucks, it is also positive locking???
    It seems that lockers in all axles would be the way to go for a 6x6 that
needed to go almost anywhere (and from what I've read on this list and many
web sites, they will go anywhere, given enough time).

        Thanks in advance,
                        Neil -- still no MV's :(
