gear swap help!

I can pick up a set of 3.73's from a buddy for $75, to put in my 91 RS, L03, 5sd. The gears are from his 88-89 10 bolt 1/2 ton truck Will they fit and if so what other parts do I need?

THANKS,

Mark

its doubtful that they will fit. if im thinking correctly the trucks had 8.5" 10 bolts and we have 7.5 ". if thats correct ur gonna need to look for a new set of gears.....

not 100% sure but i think the 1/2 ton truck is the same 7.5/7.62 ten bolts as the f bodys. if they are the same then they'd fit if it's the 8.5 then they wouldn't. my truck has the 14 bolt dana rear so i'm a bit in the dark.
