Another really effective low buck solution is to rework the parking brake scheme and add another lever so you can set each side individually. This lets you tighten up the brake on the side that is spinning and with a little practice gives you all the traction control that you will need. You could use old willys parking brake handles (They are the pull out from the dash type and twist to release) or toyota/nissan truck levers. If you need to fabricate emergency brake cables then find a speedometer shop. A local one here made me some really nice metal/plastic sheathed huck type parking brake cables for $40 each just copying the old ones. They even had heavy duty control handles that you could use in this application.
Lockers can give iffy wet road handling characteristics and are unnecessary in most cases.
