Why not run a 8.8 Ford Explorer in it. You won't break it and re drilling to chevy bolt pattern is easy.

The axle splines (26 or 28) have to match.
The gears (2 or 3 series) have to match the carrier series.

If the 92 S10 is a gov-lock, skip it and get a real posi.

Just weld it up then,you will just break whatever Vega 7.5" stuff you will scrounge up.
There are a lot of variations in axle splines,pinion bearings,posi units,2,3,4 series carriers.Its just too much of a crap shoot to pin point exactly where to look,you will just have to pull some units and see what matches up with your housing.

26 to 28 spline axle changeover wasn't a definite year; S10s got 26 into the early 90s. Some V6 f-bodies got them later than 88 too.

An Eaton is a quality "posi" available in 26 spline.
The stock Auburns with cone frictions are usually unrebuildable when worn out.

If you don't know what you're talking about, don't bother providing misinformation. And take racing out of your username while you're at it.
