you need a carrier to match your axles, or buy a carrier and then buy axles to match it. you need a gear set to match the series carrier you have, or a gear set for your carrier that is made to fit, but not in a factory ratio, or a gear set and shim to make it fit your carrier, plus all the related parts needed for the installation

Those are for the old Chevy 8.5" inch 10 bolt, your car has the new 7.675" "GM corporate" 10 bolt. You'll need to find a posi for the 7.675, there's nothing interchangeable between the two.
