3rd gen to 4th gen rear diff interchange?

Would I be able to swap my posi carrier and gears into a 4th gen housing? i can get a 4th gen open rear with discs for 15 bucks and i was gona get it for the brake upgrade...will this work? i know the axle lengths are different for the two but are the splines the same? would i be able to do it with different axles?

you can do it if the splines are the same. only way for you to know is count splines. 90 and up are 28, 88 and down are 26, and 89 can go either way
