While they are both 10 bolt rear ends, the S10 is a different width, and has leaf spring mounts rather than the shock/spring mounts that our cars have. They also lack a torque arm bracket, so there is nowhere to mount the torque arm.

correct me if I'm wrong, but are the S10's a 7.5 like the f-bodys? if so, you should be able to use the guts out of it in your rearend.

Only the ZR2's had the 8.5" 10-bolt and they have a limited slip diff and are wider. I have heard they are only about 1-2" difference in length vs the F-body 10-bolt...but still no torque arm mount.

uncorrect. I had a 8.5" in my 2WD Sonoma. You could get the 8.5" in a non ZR2 package, but you are correct about the mounts/brackets.

Ironic my 175hp truck came with the 8.5", but my 350hp car comes with the 7.625" rear.

How do you tell if you have a 7.5 or 8.5 rear end?

The 8.5 rearend will have a round cover, and part of the cover will extend rearward to make room for the ring gear. You will also notice the large, flat, cast-in protrusions at the five and seven o'clock positions. These protrusions are larger than those on the 7.5 rearend.
