Do the car and truck 12b take the same mini spool?

I don't think so, from what I saw on websites, they were asking car or truck 12 bolt.

No , car and truck just share the ring gear size . Carriers are slightly different , as well as housing .
I'm not sure if they are supposed to interchange, but when I ordered mine I guess I ended up with the car spool. Richmond #836-78-1230-1836-78-1230-1 is what I used. Here is the write up when I installed it.

When I bought mine, it was the only mini spool Jegs listed for a 12b, so I didnt even have the option of the Auburn spool. I have had it in there for a year now, and have no issues. The truck has also been my daily driver for that time.
When I installed it, I did have to round off a edge on the last center block to get it to go into the spool. Because with the squared inner sides it was hitting the ring gear before it would go in straight. I rounded it down slightly on the grinder and that allowed it to clear the ring gear and go in straight.
