8.8 Ford rear is 5 x 4.5" 1/2" fine thread
You could have the axles re-drilled for other patterns. Strange, Currie, those kind of folks will do that.
Many aftermarket wheels come with both Chevy and Ford patterns, so if you have not bought wheels, that is the easiest option.
I don't know what S-10 pattern is, but if it is typical Chevy they are 5 x 4.75" and the lugs are 7/16" fine thread.
Jeeps use the same lug pattern as the 8.8. Everything you probably want to know about the 8.8 at ww.therangerstation.com/tech_library/Explorer8_8.shtml
Other than the name and the lug pattern, the 8.8 with 31 spline axle from the Explorer is a nice cheap rear to consider for modernizing old Chevy trucks. Disc brakes, limited slip, friendly ratio of 3.73, and 3200 lb weight rating.
