i think youll be looking for aftermarket since there are no 7.5" axles with 4.11 from factory that im aware of..

unles you can find a way to get a Chevy Luv axle under your car, theyre 4.11 from factory, otherwise 3.73 is lowest i can think of in the small 10 bolts... maybe you can find someone with 4.11 7.5" gearset for sale for decent deal ??


good luck

Can't get a 4.11 for these AFAIK, but maybe you could settle for a 4.10?

About 1/3 of the way down the page, the GM ones for $187.50... they have others as well.... obviously you'll need a posi carrier as well

GM did put 4.11 gears in 7.5's, The factory set I have came out of an s10. I had another set that came out of a friends 83 v6 truck. So they are out there just finding them can be the problem.

My 88 S10 has a 4.10 limited slip rear. Just about any 82-88 4 cylinder S10 will have either 3.73 or 4.10 gears factory, with the 26 spline axles. All 4wd S10/Blazers came with limited slip rears. Look around in the junkyard for the right combo.
