All HO 72s had the pinion preload bolt...... for reasons unknown to me, some HO 52s had it, and some did not. Maybe it depends on the model year?

In case anyone is not aware, one-ton trucks had HO 72 differentials, and 3/4 tons (C/K20) had HO 52 diffs.

Yes, it is. You have a C20 with an Eaton HO 52 with a pinion preload bolt.
