yes its a manual t case, with manual hubs.
After engaging the manual t case then i take it he goes out locks in the hubs and then is it completely in 4wd? or does he need to go in reverse or something to fully lock everything?

just put the t-case in 4 high or 4 low and lock the hubs, you are probably thinking more about auto hubs (back up to unlock them) but on that truck they should be manual

No, you don't need to. Put a floor jack under the truck and try it if you don't believe me.
If the auto hubs are working properly, you shouldn't have to back up. Damn things are junk anyways.

My 87 BII had a manual case and hubs. Never did anything special to engage both, just shifted the case and twisted the hub selectors.
