No,..it's not the obvious answer to the obvious question. I wanna know if a 28 spline axle out of a 7.5 rear will be the same as the one that fits an 8.8 housing,..given that the length is the same?

And hope you do not blow chunks of gear in the process? No slicks for you! I think the only reason my 79 7.5 did not break was lack of traction, even with a limited slip differential in it.


I do not intend to run the 7.5 when the LS is installed,...I'm only wanting to not waste any money on the conversion by putting 5 lug axles in a rear that won't eventually allow me to change over to the 8.8. Besides,....even if I never change the rear over (which won't happen) I'll never have slicks on a car again.

So I got that going for me,......... which is nice.
