Well it turns out the whole thing is junk, including the posi and axle shafts. The PO hadn't had fluid in the rear for 5 years, the insides look like it has been sitting at the bottom of the ocean for years. The gear shop is going to media blast the whole thing, inside and out, then rebuild the whole thing with a new eaton and upgrading to moser axles. The gears are 3.08s and I'll stick to that since I've got the granny gear in the SM465. Breaking the bank big time but still cheaper than going to Boyce.
