You live in indiana.. Why no synthetic? Stays fluid in nasty cold weather, big mileage benefit too. Anyway, I used 75W90 in mine, both front and rear.

Thanks, I guess synthetics turned me off when they found a leak in my axle seals on my Wrangler. I just don't like synthetics on older vehicles, they find leaks that otherwise wouldn't appear with dino oil, I use dino oil, not saying synthetic isn't good stuff, it just treated me bad (I know the leak was there to begin with, but I hold a grudge agin' it)

Generally synthetic gear oil is slick enough that you don't need the LSD additive.
Front axle will be a D30.
Rear is usually a 8.25 unless you have a ABS then its a D35. Either can be LSD.
