Why? Is your current 12 bolt bad? Swap is fairly straight forward. The 12 bolt is reported to be stronger.

I'm running with a 3.73 and want to be able to cruise at around 65 to 70 on the motorways here with lower revs, tried putting a 3.42 and a 3.08 in and they don't fit due to the case size which wont allow my half shafts to fit in so that's why I was thinking about the Camero especially when its £300

The Camaro axle will be narrower then the truck axle, internals will not swap. Most likely the bolt pattern will be different, car will have 5 lug, truck will have 6 or even 8.

Stick with your 12 bolt, there are lots of parts for them, stronger. Might to have to ship from 'States.'
