4DSEVEN · 03-09-2009, 07:13 PM

I have found two chevy s 10 rearends. They are from an 88 & 89.

I am told they measure 48" & 52" backing plate to backing plate.

From what I have read and searched it is my understanding that I need between 58-62".

I thought the S-10 rearend was good?

I haven't purchased one yet so I still have options.

Can someone shed some insight.

I have the link showing the various vehicles but am I looking at the wrong measurement using back plate to back plate?
