8 lugs is right.
I blew the axle on my 84 last year and tried using one from a 83 van. No way!
You are going to have to find a axle from a van to go to your van. I wound seriously think about changing out the gears instead.
P.S.: This probably should have went to Axle, Trans., Drivetrain forum. Just a thought.
Good Luck!!
