TRUE positraction would be full time drive from BOTH wheels. This would cause you to do a burnout every time you turned a corner or rounded a sharp curve. It would also make it difficult to steer almost anything but straight ahead.
Ford did use a version of a locking differential that provided full posi called the Detroit Locker which was manufactured by Dana Corp. and was a vacuum locked differential. You could flip a switch and lock it to full locked drive or disengage it to limited slip. It was good for those who wanted to drag race their street cars and have the advantage of a spool type differential on the track.
Most Detroit Lockers were manufactured in the Ford 9 inch configuration but were also available in a Chevy 12 bolt and Dana 44 (Chrysler's choice) version as well. They also made it in a Dana 60 housing for heavy duty trucks.
