S10 Manual Steering Box Question

i read somewhere that you could use a manual steering box out of an S10 in a thirdgen. i was wondering if anybody know for sure if this is true, and if so, what year S10?

i used a gear box from an 87 4cyl. 5speed 2wd S10. i bought it from autozone with a lifetime warranty. not really cheap at almost $200 not counting a core.

if its drag or street crusing only, go for it. saves a few pounds and cleans up nice under the hood.

i DO NOT recommend this piece if you autocross or roadrace. not a good choice at all.

i have one on my car, and love it. but i dont take corners all crazy, its set up for straight line.
