I did all this as I was worried aobut breaking the small 10 bolt in my camaro being a 6 speed and 510rwhp. Sold the car shortly after.
Now I have heard you can convert the truck 12bolt rear to a car 12 bolt rear. Is this true? Would that be worth it?

In my opinion, no...it would not be worth it and this is why.
First you are gunna have to find a 12 bolt car center (unless you already have one) and this will require the purchase of a complete housing (most likely).
Second, you will have to buy all new guts because you cannot interchange the guts. Hence the exact reason parts are sold specifically for car or truck.
I think I would rather fab a 9 inch together and be done with it. Seriously
In the case of your 8.8, now that would be a great idea IMO for the simple fact if you look hard enough, you can find an 8.8 for free. The 8.8 is extremely strong and would be worth doing for an F-Bod.
