the 9" was more of a matter of convenience since I could get it dirt cheap from a friend (and there's the cool factor, too). I should be able to find a more appropriate rear in a junkyard. I just haven't been able to make it to one yet. FYI, my rear is 58" and the s10 is supposed to be, but I measured a friend's 99 and it was 49", so it must be older S10s.
