Whats it out of ? That makes a difference.
Its my understanding that a 10 bolt from a 4x4 S10 will fit nicely with little modification.
Fender to fender on the rear of the bed is 76” on the outside. The frame is 34” wide so 57" will drop you 4" from the bed panel and 10" from the fender inside, not good. I dealy you need to have a rear at 60" - 62". unless you tub the bed and run some big tires then 57 is fine.

if your asking what came stock in that year.

3 degree crank shaft angle downward in the back
3 degree angle up on the pinion +/- 1*
62.5" drum to drum is the stock width
42" center to center on the spring pads.
55.5" from inside of the backing plate to inside of backing plate
2.5" brake gap
