    I am installing a s10 4x4 rearend in my 54 Chevy right now. Look for one out of the square bodied Blazers and S10. They are 60" wide. The newer curved bodied blazers are wider.

    I would say, if you have a lead foot and a healthy motor s10 aren't that strong. I may be a old man but it wouldn't last two long :D alot of guys are using 8/8 explorers cheep out of pull a parts yards and can be narrowed by cutting the long axle tube and using two short axles another plus is alot of them are posies good luck...............Jack
