Default Rear End Swap

Can I use the guts out of my '02 Camaro rear end that has a 10 bolt with Eaton & Motive into my '03 GMC truck that has a factory 10 bolt?

Obviously not the axels but what about the Eaton posi unit? The Motive Gears? The T/A stud girdle? The truck has 135k miles on it and could use a re-fresh. The car is getting a new 12bolt so I will have it as spare parts, if they fit.

No, the Camaro is a 7.5" 10 bolt and full size trucks are 8.5" 10 bolts.

The majority of our members here get their rear end parts from Ron's Machining Service, who has the best prices and customer service from what I've seen. They're a sponsor here also
