Default 98 ford ranger rear axle

What years and axles could possibly be swapped in? My dad swears up and down that only another 98 rear end can be put directly in.

I have a 98 with 7.5" and 3.73 gears.

i swapped in an axle from a 93 ranger it was a direct bolt on except we had to flip a shock mount around other than that it was bolt on. the axle was a 8.8 with 3.73 open rear end and i swapped it too a 8.8 3.73 limited slip rear end
