Ok guys my old 82 c10 currently has a 10 bolt with 2.73 gears I currently have picked up a 12 bolt with 3.73 its a 6 lug. I wanna keep the 5 lug currently on my c10. My question is can I take the axles and spider gears from the 10 bolt and put them into the 12 bolt housing using the 12 bolt carrier and 12 bolt housing?

No can do boss. You just need to pick up a pair of 12 bolt shafts, and if funds allow, you can get some fancy aftermarket shafts.
