Could I swap a 1st gen posi rear into my 88 Iroc?
I recently had a minor accident in my 5 speed 88 Iroc which bent my (somewhat rare) rear end. I had the G92 package with the rear discs, but what I am wondering is, if I have to get a completely new (used) rear end or if I can swap in a spare posi traction 1st gen rear end I have laying around.
At this point I am not 100% sure my axle is actually bent, but the rotor is bent to ****, so I have been having issues pulling it off.
What had happen was a driver error, long story short I spun out taking a turn to quick by shifting into too low of a gear, and slid into a curb with my driver side at about 30-40mph.
It caused some body damage and screwed up my wheels pretty good.
I am hoping the frame is still straight, but at this point I am primarily concerned with my axle.
Any help would be great thanks!

No, not even close without a lot of fab work
