much appreciated

@@Paulchristoff appreciate ya

it's 2024 it can be whatever it wants to be. besides I couldn't think of a name that rhymed with seal so I apologize

@@jimthomas1989 thats awesome man, it can definitely be done. Yeah it takes some "know how" but at the end of it you can say, you built it. I'm probably going to be taking the Z28 wheels off of it soon partially due to the fact that I'm getting ready to put a 8.8 rear from a explorer in it. I'm not crazy about the idea of having two different lug patterns but I do know someone that has a set of multi lug jegstars so I may go that route.

​​@@Cbanes79 , The S-10 has a heavy duty 8.5 Rear End , It was in 1995 and newer with the H.O. 4.3 V6 (L35 option ) and 5 speed trans But how can you tell the difference between the 7- 5/8 and the 8.5 Rear End ? The 8.5 has tapered Axle Tubes coming out of the differential ring and pinion gear (Pumpkin) housing . The ZR2 also has this 8.5 heavy duty Rear end . And you keep the same bolt pattern for your Rims and no need for a different drive shaft to fit a Chevy trans and a Ford Rear . But if you want a Ford Rear , just add another $1000 dollars to your $2000 build total . The 7-1/2 and the 7- 5/8 Rear end both have straight axle tubes , so if you see a Tapered Axle tube it's an 8.5 I got 6 S-10 Trucks 4- OBS Trucks 3 - 66 Chevelle 2 - Nova 2- Camaro 2 -1967 Trucks 1- 1968 Truck 1- 1978 Truck

@@jimthomas1989 I can get a explorer 8.8 for about $100 bucks from someone I know. I do appreciate the info on the newer model S10 diffs I didn't know that. I knew that the Zr2 blazers had a factory 3.73 limited slip but they are far and few between in my area. I'm considering for the time being running this 7.5 which has a 3.42 gear and just putting a spool in it

I got a 96 S- 10 4X4 , It has the 8.5 from the factory with Tappered Tube Axle It is NOT a ZR2 Just a Regular S-10 4X4 So anything 95 and newer with the 4.3 V-6 could possibly have the 8.5 I don't have to worry about it , I seriously doubt it makes 200hp . Just a 2 bolt main , bored 10 over with a 4 barrel , small Cam and headers , But , that's what I got to work with and it's cheap , actually my cheapest build ever . And I'm about 400 or 500 miles from Virginia so I can't help you other than Advice , but there is Thousands of S-10s here in case you need parts . Don't you need to cut that Ford Rear End Axle Tubes and shorten the Axles to make it fit ? Then cut the spring perches off and then Weld the S-10 spring Perches on ? Then change Universal joints and get the drive Shaft lengthen or shorten ? And what about the emergency brake cables ? Even if someone gave it to you for free , that's a lot of work for an 8.5 to just a 8.8 That's like 1/8 of an inch bigger ring gear than a 8.5 ring gear

@@jimthomas1989 yeah I had no idea thats what they had in them in those years. Actually now that I'm thinking about it I do know where a blown up 96 s10 ss is. If I'm not mistaken it has a limited slip 3.42 ratio rear from the factory

@@kenengel620 she's just a goofball and it started as a inside joke.

@@jbslittleshop2897 thanks man I appreciate that

@@jbslittleshop2897 thanks I really appreciate it. I'm going to be putting up more videos of the S10 in the next few days. Had to get a better camera lol.

@@Cbanes79 I’m part of a group on RUclips called the no name nationals. We meet up every year in Missouri in September. Just race and have fun for 3 days. It’s all RUclips people.

@jbslittleshop2897 oh gotcha that's cool that a bit of a haul from here in VA lol but if I can get this channel off the ground a little bit I'd make trip. My ol' tow vehicle is pushing close to 350k miles on it and that 5.4 2 valve is getting tired

I found a driveshaft that had a slip yoke on it and cut about 6in off of it and had to buy two combination u-joints.
