front spindles/rotors/brakes all the same from like 83-2001 or so on 2wd s10's. The later 2001-03 2wd blazers used a dual piston brake caliper but have a differnt spindle as well with a slip on rotor and hub design like a front wheel drive, they also will work if you get the whole set up. I dont know if they are like alot better then the std single piston stuff is on a street car.
The rear axle is the same also, use a 7.5/7.625" diameter ring gears and posi units. if you get one from a 4 cyl truck they usually havee 4.10 gear ratio, some are 3.73 ratio. the v6 trucks most of the time has the 3.42 ratio. there is athe 8.5 10 bolt that was used in the v6-5 speed manual trucks and they are hard to find, but use a 3.08 ratio.
