Some advice...Don't look or buy gears, until you know for sure what you now have. Some examples for 1987...what series carrier, 9 or 10-bolt and gear ratio. Also a 28 spline Limited Slip (posi ) will not work with 26 spline 1987 axle shafts.

The following info should put you on the right track, especially if you have a 10-bolt:
