8.8" questions

I've been doing some searching on the site but I still have some 8.8" rear questions for you guys.

What 8.8" came with 31-splines? All the truck years?
Can any 8.8" carrier be swapped with another 8.8" from a vehicle? Specifically looking at Mustang rears.
Can anybody tell me or direct me to a site that tell of the widths for all the 8.8"?
And how well do the refresher kits for trac-lok work? Any opinions or suggestions? (Too poor for Eaton substitute)

Sorry about the onslaught of questions.
Thank in advance.

I think the passenger cars are 28 spline and trucks 31, but that is not 100% guaranteed. With a new set of clutch plates and springs, it should work the same as new.

I'm looking at swapping a mustang 8.8" in an older mustang, and I wanted to confirm if I could use a truck carrier because I want the 31-spline axles.
But if I could get a the widths on truck rears I would have to do as much screwing around with swaping carriers etc.

exploders also have 31 spline rears, and from 95+ disc brakes..

They also may be close to the width of a mustang rear end..
