Well The whole rear end will not bolt in direct! Your Sunbird needs a torque arm and the S10 never had one, so next you'll only want the axles if they are 26 spline and they will pretty much slide into your existing carrier, and then you have 5 bolt set-up on the rear with only a small amount of clearancing on the backing plates or build some 1/16" spacers (Monzaz can also supply). The gears are not a bolt in either as the H-Body 7.5" 10 bolt has a unique pinion shaft that is smaller than all other 7.5" 10 bolts, So if that rear is the preferred 28 spline carrier/axles you can swap in the carrier and axles for an upgrade to your rear, but for the gears you will need to turn the pinion or buy the weaker "adapter" bearings, again Jim is your guy (Monzaz) for either choice. I'll call these the "Highlights" Harry
