Default Rear suspension.

Hello all, in 1985, I bought what I was told is a 1982 Corvette complete rear suspension which my dad and I installed in my 1958 Chevy truck. Yes, my project has been sitting for some time now. In the last few months, I have learned it is C3 series. If it is actually an 82.
I have scoured many websites looking for the same unit to no avail. So my question is, "How do I learn exactly what I have so I can be sure I have all the necessary parts?"
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jeff.

If you are really unsure of what parts you have you will need to post pics for us to get an idea.

There is an FAQ on here about how to post pics to the forum.

The differential ID is located on the bottom of the diff, on the front flange. Here is a link to de-code the diff.
