Also double check your bolt pattern I am pretty sure a delta 88 had the full size 5 x 5 bolt pattern. Make sure you measure themm correct 5 lugs get measured from the outside of a stud to the center of the accross stud. If not we can get some axles for you or you should be able to pull the ones you have and fit them in the other housing as long as you have a 1989 and older 10 bolt 8.5 rear. Some of the early 70's 8.5 rears came with bolt in axles...What do you have? Jim

I would do the caprice /roadmaster rear also they have 30 spline axles and some decent gear ratios also. 3.08 3.23 2.93 And with a 8.5 you have a wide varity of gears to choose from because they still build these rears in full size trucks and suv GM vehicles
