Yup... also the pinion hits right in the middle of the ring gear, where a 12 bolt and Dana grab the ring gear lower on the ring. It was either Moser or Strange that offered a 9" 3rd member with a 12 bolt pinion style. So you could run the 9" housing and not have c-clips, but have the strength of the where the 12 bolt pionion grabs the ring.

You're asking for a needle in a haystack. Just ain't gonna be many around. I'm sure cats have done it... but very few.
