Re: 51 Chev on a S10 frame, named Dale
OK, now on to the rear end.
I picked up a Blazer rear end, 1996 I think, put it under the existing leaf springs, with a 2 inch drop block, and all fit fine....except, the U-Bolts that come with the kit are, 1 - too wide for the S 10 rear, and 2 - too thin....you know when you get something and you try to make it fit, but you know something is wrong...that is the feeling I had with these U Bolts.
So I went to a local spring shop and they made me 4 new, 3/4 inch rods that were the exact fit..... now it is right. (I will cut the ends when the truck is ready for the road)
from the pics you can see the new brake lines and wheel cylinders, and new shoes and brake hardware already installed inside the new drums.
