Both axles Dana units? If so, you should be able to find the spider parts at any good Dana supplier.
I cannot answer your interchangeability question, but I would doubt the possibility since '90 and '00 frames are very different.

Why not just get a new carrier? Alot less work than swapping axles. Or get your spiders here http://www.ringpinion.com/PartsList....fID=20&CatID=4

By the way that's a link for Dana 60 parts if you have a 70 or 80 I bet they have them or can get them. There's always the dealer too.
