Nope. Get a rear differential carrier for your 14 bolt, new bearings, and re-use the gear set. There's probably a reason the axle was removed from the truck....

They are rebuildable and the 14bolt G80 isn't nearly as prone to breaking as the 10bolt. That being said, if you have the money I would still go ahead and upgrade.
