Default Differential question

So I have a 01 z06 and have bought and fixing to install a 3 rib diff out of a 03 model z06 car. Question is will the axles out of the 1 rib factory diff work in the 3 rib diff? Just tryin to get my ducks in a row so I’m not stuck waiting on axles. Any advice would b greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Everything diff wise is interchangeable in these cars, regardless of rib.

That’s great news. Means I won’t have to spend anymore cash on buying more axles. I just wasn’t sure swapping from the early 01 model to the later upgraded 3 rib stuff. I had been told before that there was two different axles used in the c5 z06 but I’m tickled that what I got will work with the 3 rib. Thanks!!!

Same thing with base models, any base model C5 can use any rib diff from any other C5, regardless if z06, manual, or auto. Auto just needs the plate swapped over, everything else bolts right up.
