Are you sure it's a 'wide-track' axle. IIRC, the WT didn't come out till 82.

81 came stock with 5 bolt hubs, if an 81 has a 6 bolt hub chances are it was an upgrade.

If it ain't bent or twisted-
You'll need to pull the cover and confirm it's a D/L.
Lots of folks have put in 'lunch-box' lockers and then say it's a Detroit Locker.
Here's what the real D/L looks like.

The aftermarket Warn hubs and Superwinch hubs are good too. I've never had a problem with my Warn or Superwinch hubs (note that I'm referring the the Warn branded hubs, not the OEM Jeep hubs that were made by Warn.
