For a nunber of years chevy gmc wore the same not a hard item to find .Ask the people at the bone yards .
I'm just supprised yours went its one of the few things on these vehicles that isn't usely a problem
Stop guessingall rear ends have a tag by the rear end bolts fin another with same numbers
Astro van is actually different has a bigger bolt pattern and believe it is longer older firebird and camaro with the leaf springs s-10 p/u or gmc s-15 but being 4x4 you need to have same gear ratio 4:11 front you need a 4:11 rear or 3:73 to 3:73 ect if not things will break driveshafts or pinions unless you don't plan on using 4x4 option
The chevy s-10 pick up, GMC Jimmy, chevy Astor van would have a rear end that would line up and fit.

here is a great site randy sell great parts at a great price and he is a pro.
check his site and you will find even more info than you need randys
and what emissionwiz said is 100% correct i have had people bring me their trucks with rear ends that they tried to set up just by looking at tooth contact and they have ruined a new set.
follow randys instruction with the right tools and you wonnt have a problem.
good luck paul

the carrier should turn easily and not stick. you may want to try reversing the shims that are on the outside of the bearing races on the ends of the carrier. If that doesn't work you will need to get some other shims to try.......you can also grind the shim down a bit to get it the right size (if you got the parts used you are best off to keep the shims with the ring gear they were originally installed with.)
If you have any more probs or need more help post a comment here and i will get back to you. Good Luck!
SOURCE: gear ratio
There are two different ratios for a S10 Blazer,a 3.42(GU6) and a 3.08(GU4).Look in your glove box for a GM option codes.Look for a GU6 or GU4 code for the type of ratio you have.Hope this helps.

stock is generally the 235/75r15, but if you can find someone to install them or do it yourself easily be able to run 31x10r15 for a little meatier look, this would involve a slight trim of the front skirt edge on some models or depending on your suspension. Any tire shop would easily be able to tell you stock tires or what would fit, but most major retailers (walmart, fleetfarm) will not install ANY tire not listed as factory. so you would have to find a private shop then.
