Default Posi-traction question

On the door of my rear compartment on my '68, next to the tire pressure sticker, there is a large white sticker that says "CAUTION.. This Vehicle is equipped with Limited Slip Differential.......etc" in red lettering. Does this mean I have Posi-Traction???

Gary, you right, it became standard in '70. But prior to that most had posi. In '69 of the 38762 built, 36965 had posi. In '68 it was 27008 out of 28566.

Why does it say "Caution?"

it says caution because when one tire grabs and the other spins, you can go sideways easily
