What year rearend did your thirdgen brakes come off? If it was an early rear, I seem to recall something being different about the rear drums. If they came off a later thirdgen rear, then I would guess that they should bolt up fine. You'll prolly need to re-use your thirdgen brake lines though, might take a little bending for the additional 2" per side.
