All 84 SS models came with the 7.5, 3.42 rear mated to a TH350c transmission.

Posi was an option so theres no possible way we could tell you if it's a posi or an open diff. For the rims your best bet would be craigslist, ebay, and forums like this or MonteCarloSS Forum. They arent too rare but I always liked the 83-84 rims better.

posi is code G80 on the trunk lid sticker...

I would keep an open search on Craiglist and post something in the Wanted sections in some of the forums. There's a couple good ones for 83-88 SSs. Also, give mikesmontes a call. He can hook you up.
