Much Help Needed!!! Rear Axle Question....
Okay it turns out that in 1990 the rear end is still the older rear end. Witht he 27 splines. I dont know what website I looked at but one of them said its switched over already. Anyways...I have gears and posi for the 28 spline model. I need axles from a 91-92 rear end. The questions is this....
1) WILL THE AXLES FROM A 91-92 FIT INTO THE OLDER REAR END?
2) IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DISK AND DRUM BRAKE REAR AXLES?
3) IF THE AXLES FROM TEH 91-92 FIT ITNO THE OLDER REAR END...IS THERE ANY CHANGES I NEED TO MAKE? LIKE NEW SEALS OR ANYTHING?
THANKS!!!!! Sorry I really want posi and gears. And I need it before next week saturday. But atcually I want it by today. Please respond. Thank you.

1. Yes
2. Yes - the disk brake axle flange has a smaller outer diameter; some drum axles will not fit into a disk rotor, but disk axles will always fit into drums
3. No changes; since you'll be replacing the axle bearings and seals when you change axles anyway, they'll be the same ones you would have bought for the older axles.
