what year do you have? I have an 01 ZR2 s10 blazer for a winter daily driver. the zr2s came with upgraded 3.73s, normal s10s are smaller, 3.10? you can also get chev 4.11 or 4.56 gears for pretty cheap compared to aftermarket axles.

I used run a 10-bolt from a mid 70's camaro using a 10" wide wheel and 7.5" of backspacing the wheels will stick out a little.. I have also heard that you can drop in an 8.8 out of an explorer basically the same width as a stock S10..
I am still running the same rearend in the truck pictured below just had it narrowed 6 3/4" with the same wheels..15x10 with 7.5" BS

S-10
The truck is a 87 with a stock width rear. 15x7 rims and a 275-60 tire. i dont know the back spacing.I dont want to back half it .Just looking for a rear maybe a 8.5 10 bolt that would fit. Im new to this S-10 stuff.Thanks..
