I have a 1940 1/2 ton chevy,I have read that the rear end from a 4 wheel drive blazer will work best, Is the rear end from an S 10 4 wheel drive the same? I have located an s 10 4 wheel that has all the other components I may use ..brakes, column etc.

By Blzer, do you mean the full size K5, or the S Blazer? I beleive the K5 axle will be too wide, but will keep the 6 lug wheels. The S Blazers are the same as their pickup relatives, and are 5 lug. If you go the S truck/Blazer route, look for a '98-'04 4 door or ZR 2 truck. They have 4 wheel disk brakes, easy upgrade. Also, the ZR 2 has a modified full size truck axle, which is stronger than the std S truck axle.

I was referring to the s blazer, Thanks for the info. The s 10 pick up I am looking at is a 92 pickup 4 wheel drive, does it have disk on the rear?

No, '97 or '98 was the first year for that, and then only on certain models, mainly ZR 2 pickups/2 door Blazers, and also on 2 and 4 wheel drive 4 door Blazers. I have seen a couple of 2 wd extended cab pickups with them also.
