I was thinking of something else when I entered this thread... Dang it!

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that.

some of them came with POSI yes.

If you look at the RPO code and see G80 that has POSI.

I believe this only applies to 84+

Usually on a sticker in the glovebox or the underside of the trunk lid. My bet would be in the glove box.

No , you could order a posi on any model. Was an option on the ss as well. 83-84 ss has 3.42 and the 85-88 had 3.73's.

neither it's the gearin 3.42's are more like a highway gear 3.72 is more of a acceleration gear if your looking at rear ends they usually come with 7.5 in 10 bolt rearend a better one is the 8.5 in
