    Using a S10 4x4 rear end in 1950 Chevy truck stock frame with Chevy 350. Noticed drive shaft is offset to passenger side with axle housing centered on frame. Can i slide rear end over to center drive shaft and add a spacer to the passenger side wheel to match up space between frame and both rear wheels. Or if not please describe the best fix.

    Welcome to the Forum Eddie,
    As long as your pinion angle matches the angle of the engine/trans, and the engine/trans is pointing straight back, you shouldn't have an issue with the offset. Equal and opposite angles prevent vibrations.

    Add your location, there may be a fellow ADer nearby!
