Answering my own post. I raised the 46 panel truck way up in the air today and dragged the chassis out from under it with a golf cart. Not pretty, but it worked. The 2wd S10 rear with the stock rims and tires is a really tight fit in a 46 1 ton panel. Like maybe 1/2 inch of inside clearence on each side. The 4wd rear is a few (6 or 8?) inches wider, so it should be perfect. It actually will work out best for me, because my 2wd rear is a 3.08 open and the 4wd rear is a 3.42 positraction unit from a Typhoon. I'm taking pictures as I proceed. I will assemble them into a logical story so that maybe I can motivate someone the way Toomany2count did me with the LargeMarge pictoral. That was great.
