2nd gen 10 bolt into 3rd gen??
Has anybody tried to use a 2nd gen 8.5 in a 3rd gen? I just measured them, there's only 1/4 in differance in the width on the one I have. I think they could be used if a ladder bar were to be used also.

If you're going to go through the trouble of using ladder bars why not just find a nice 9" instead. There are lots of them out there that are narrow enough to use.
There's no way you can use the third gen's torque arm on any other factory diff other than from another third or fourth gen.

Look at the pics on my web pages. You need to modify the floor to install ladder bars. If you went all the way up to the tranny crossmember (They don't make ladder bars that long), the front mount would be inside the car under the front seats.
