Why not buy just the 4 correct joints and install them on your axle shaft? 
It would cost a bit more unfortunately, but they would be brand new. If it's 
a matter of not knowing how or not ever having done it before I can promise 
you that its really simple, I've done it a hundred times.

WorldPac lists outers by GKN which is OEM for $248.50 list and 115.63 vendor 
cost. Inners for a '89 90 aso GKN are $194 list and $93.18 cost.
