Does anyone know of a source vehicle with these specs? What is the rear end length in an S-10 blazer?
Thanks,

I already have a rear end from a '70 Nova. It measures 60.5". It will fit but it really limits the wheel offsets available. Something around 57.5" would be much better. I know that a **** Granada rear end measures 57.5" but I would like to keep my GM car, all GM if possible.
Thanks,

After 64 GM went cheap on their rearednds and used the axle for the inner race of the bearing. If you get a rough bearing replace the axle and the bearing??? Pford has recently done this with their 8.8" rear. The 8" Pford will take a lot. This is from one with experience and have spent many $$$ on a Chevy 10 bolt.
Hope this helps

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
