I Believe 89 is the changeover year, but I am not postitive. Im pretty sure they changed to 28 spline axles when they changed to the 7.625" ring gear, which was in 89.

Unless it's a 9 bolt rear, then it will be a 28 spline

Miles, Miles, Miles,

What do I do.. Do I buy a 3.73 gear set off you and hope my POSI lasts a few more seasons, or Do I go with a 10 bolt and a spool..
