You can order the 8.8 with the correct pinion flange from NTO so it will bolt right up. Does it have a posi? 7.5 rears don't from the factory

Yep, all 8.8s have T-Loc from the factory and NTO.

I can't find the 8.8 anywhere on NTO's website?
When I click on drivetrain it leads me to 3.31 gears and front GT Rotors, that's it?

Try late model restoration,
If you're gonna pay like 800 for a new 8.8 rear, might as well go all the way...
