you can get a 8.8 out of an explorer and cut one axle tube down and use 2 drivers side axles and it will fit right under a s10. they are pretty stout rears. you can get one with a factory 4.10 gear and posi for a 150 bucks at pull a part junkyard. ill find out for sure on how much needs cut off if you are interested in going that route. anybody can do it that way. for less then 250 bucks you would have a good rear. just a thought
