Don---I used a 1985 S10 rearend when I built the roadster pickup. I used a set of "no-name" coils from a swapmeet, built my own coil-cups, brackets, and Panhard rod. It works excellent, and if you want, I have some very good pictures I can post. I didn't want to do a lot of welding on the axle tubes, so I used the leaf spring mount that was welded to the axle tubes in the "factory" and built my brackets off them. The only thing to watch for if you do that, is that the S10 had a really ignorant angle on their spring-pads. I had to build 11 degree angular wedges to get my brackets in the correct aspect to give the proper pinion angle.---BrianOld guy hot rodder
