My project is coming real well and I have the stock S-10 rear end in it now. I realize that if I keep the stock one in there I will need to run mini-tubs and am planning on doing that using the floor from a long box S-10 donor. I want to run as wide of a tire as I can on the rear. I know running the stock 2 wheel drive axle will offer plenty of space but I'd need a rim with little backspacing. My other options are to run a 4x4 axle or camaro/firebird rear end. Any advice or pictures of your AD trucks would be appreciated.
