From wich model do you get rear end? I would like to do the same in my 92
Daily s10
I am doing this over since I never actually did an upgrade thread on my s10 that replaced my 4 door blazer. I purchased this truck late November and it really needed A LOT hence the good deal. It is a stripper truck, no carpet, no power doors but it does have a 4.3, 4l60e exactly what I wanted.

The brakes were destroyed........
The Blazer was robbed of many parts for this s10 lol.
2" drop spindles
Slotted and drilled rotors
New Stainless brake lines
![351072]()
I did end up putting a factory shifter and console in it, cannot find the pics of that at this time I may just upload a pic later.
I also had some issues with the fuel sending unit the precious owner put some plastic JB Weld on the fittings so a new sending unit was ordered and I used a Quantum 255 pump, then I replaced the spider injection now she runs sweet and gets great fuel mileage.
As for now the s10 is on 2" drop spindles, and 2.5" blocks. 275-40-18s. The 8.8 is not quite ready to be installed but I will cover that soon.

I switched my front end to the Envoy, just a little bit of body prep and it will be ready for paint, thank goodness....

I know she looks a little rough but she will be tightened up soon.
I am adding power doors that I got from a real clean Jimmy, great price too! They stay off until everything is painted.

thank you very much
Explorer 8.8 install with pics
Why do you ask? Several reasons; like its famous 9" big brother, the 8.8 is very tough. Many drag racers run this rear-end stock and have no breakage when running in the 9s. For the cost of just a limited slip for a Chevy 10 bolt, you get the more muscular rear end AND disc brakes! I picked up...www.s10forum.com
The ever so elusive 8.5 s10 rear costs more IF you find one, you have to get your driveshaft shortened 3/4" also whereas the 8.8 gets a conversion u joint and a 3.00 fitting to go from ford to chevy on the main brake line.
