Re: Rearends
I know that a S-10 rear is 54.5" outside drum to drum. I have one in my shop.
Hope that helps some. Tony Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Rearends
No problem.
One thing to consider is that the s10 has metric brake lines an you would need to get a $2 adaptor at the auto parts store to connect the older standard line to the s10 T fitting. You can make the E-brake cable work too, if I remember correctly, you just need to drill out the backing plate hole a little larger. I had a friend that put a s10 rear in a 59 apache about 10years ago. He also put the front suspension on it too. It rode pretty good and sat pretty close to the ground in stock form.

Re: Rearends
That 54" dimension is for a 2WD S-10. The 4WD rears are a few inches wider, maybe about 58". Most people putting S-10 frames under earlier trucks like AD usually go with the 4WD rear and still get the deep wheel look.
