No.

They are exactly the same, except they're different. Different length.

If you have an axle stretcher though, I believe you can stretch them just barely enough to make them work.

thats pretty much the same line we use on the newbies at work, If they make a hydraulic hose too short we tell them to go fing the hose stretcher, they spend a good half hour looking for it before we fill them in on whats going on!

Ask them to;

1) Go get a fallopian tube.

2) Go get me a bucket of bulkhead remover.

3) Go get a bucket of steam.

Then go ask the to get a chain stretcher (those are real).

If it was only that easy, all the S10 axles would have disappeared years ago. The only axles that will fit into a third gen housing are from another third gen or aftermarket axles. Aftermarket third gen 28 spline axles are only $125 - $150 each.

yah ok i have a 1 set of s10 28 spline axles and i have 2 sets of camaro 26 spline axles.....that sucks

ok so maybe ill just weld in 2 more splines on each axle and i should be good....noo wait ill just cut the ends of the s10 axles and put them on the camaro axles... what will work good. JK

Ok on a serious note why are the 28s better then the 26's anyhow??
