Just like the title says. A friend of mine wants to do a straight axle 4wd conversion to a 2wd S10. I told him I would look for info or if someone has done one. Thanks.

i dont know if it would be worth it, why not just buy a 4x4?
The straight axle would be much stronger than the factory IFS, plus its probably cheaper to get a 2wd and put a solid axle under it than to get a 4x4 and convert to solid axle. rdn check out the s-10 section, I think there was some threads in there on SAS's
yeah its been done a bunch of times. i got a 93 running k5 blazer 10 bolts and beat the heck out of it, got a welded rear with some 33s and it just survived its 8th all day long offroad adventure
but to be technical mine was a 4x4 to start with but is basically the same idea. i threw out all the IFS crap
its pretty easy if you know how to weld and have alot of junk laying around.
heres a few build threads i read when i was doing mine to get pictures off of.

Im doin a sas on a S10 blazer. The link is in my sig. If i ever get my camera back i have some more pics to put up.
mine was pretty easy cause i just made it ugly strong and functional. part that took the longest was setting up the rear hangers for the front leaf springs, rest of the time was just spent tracking down parts and putting them on
