You will need to measure everything out (axle tube length, center chunk position, etc.), if everything measures out, it is an 8.8, and all the attachment points are the same as a Mustangthen go for it.That will be a first for me, if it works let me know.

Aerostars definately have a 7.5" rear and the reason you need two of the same side axles is that the differential is offset differently than a Mustang.
It wont work.
Take the right axle out, scrap the rest and get another right axle (or a Ranger left).
