12 bolt car vs. truck

[Ziegelsteinfaust]

Nothing interchanges expect maybe a few gaskets, and their gear ratio's are a bit limited by comparison.

They are two different rear ends, and the car is better in nearly every way. If I am not mistaken the 8.5 10 bolt is stronger in more ways too then the truck 12 bolt.

The only things that make's the 8.5" & the Car 12-bolt stronger is the larger pinion stem diameter & only seen one break.
