I really don't know but I doubt it. The later axles are prolly a little longer and prolly have 2 more splines, but don't quote me

97 will have 28 splines. The s-10 axles are a different length. The differential is different since the truck uses leaf springs.

What part of that didn't you understand the first time? You might as well ask if a mid 80's Monte Carlo 7.5" will fit. The only factory direct bolt-in diff for a third gen is out of another third gen.
