Question:
I have an 83 chevy silverado with a 350/290HP engine, a 700R4 tranny, and 3.08 gears rear end and it is a 8.5" 10-bolt, and I don't know what type of differential it is...I don't know if it is limited slip, positrac, locker(doubtful), etc. I just need to know what type, if any, is it so I can research what I need to buy to make it limited slip with 3.45 gears and put new guts in the rear end.

A clutch type limited slip is much more streetable, easily the best one out there is the Eaton Locker. It has a governor gear that uses flyweights to put pressure on the clutches. This is a carrier assembly that you mount the ring gear on to. The up side is there are no negative side effects like with a trapazoidal type. There are other clutch or cone type slippers, but they are not as selective as the Eaton. These have some of the same side effects of the trapazoidal, such as tire wear and push, but no clicking. The Eaton is normally open, only locking when there is wheel spin. And engagement is smooth, you won't feel it engage, this is the type GM uses in newer trucks.

Then there is the spool. Also a carrier assembly, this is by far the most agressive and durable. Not recommended for a daily road use truck unless you are drag racing. If you are looking to tow, or just looking for better traction without excessive tire wear or binding, go with the limited slip. I highly recommend the Eaton.
And that ratio you are looking for is a 3:42. Be sure to change the driven speedo gear to correct you speedometer.
More than likely it's a one wheel peel. You'll need to get a new locker, ring and pinion gears, and c-clip eliminators (don't skip this one especially if you are using a locker). Try jeggs.com or summitracing.com, they are my favorites.

lift both rear wheels off the ground, turn one wheel (in neutral)...if one wheel turns one way, and the other doesn't turn/turns in the opposite direction, it's conventional differential.

To "make it" limited slip, you'll need the whole "carrier assembly", the whole center "guts" of it, and a new pinion gear/ring gear and seals , if you are changing "ratio"...

Don't forget a new speedometer gear, as you are changing the "final drive ratio" as well...but it may only be two or three mph difference there.
