My question is will this work. I am across the country from my cutlass so I can not figure out which rear it is. And I know that they interchange. But i do knot know the spline count can I get 28 spline axles and a 28 spline lock right and put that I the carrier if it is the other one?
 
I do believe they do interchange as far as the A/G bodies are concerned. I up graded to a 28 spline Detroit locker and KA axles in my 79 Monte Carlo many years back and it was a direct swap. The 7.5 vs 7.625 as I was told by a employee from American Axle refers to the face thickness of the ring gear. .125 thicker must be stronger! :rofl:
Hope this helps!
 
The measurement is of the diameter of the ring gear not the thickness. Upgrading to a 28 spline carrier and axles work, but putting a 28 spline lock right in a 26 spline carrier won't, as far as I know. And your Cutlass would have 26 spline axles stock.
 
Ok thanks for clearing that up for me.
