10 bolt chevy side is good for SAS?

You could probably mate it useing a "divorced" transfer case configuration, but you have issues with the gas tank location, adding another cross member, and you'll have a pretty weird geometry for the shifter with the transfer case that far back.
It would take quite a bit of engineering I think.
If you did that though, it would eliminate the issues with the passenger's side drop obviously.
A Chevy 10 bolt is basically a Dana 44 as far as strength and so forth. Might want to just find an appropriate 44?

dont even bring that idea up. then i would be ashamed to own it or even call it a ford.

Hey, Chevy has made some OUTSTANDING powerplants and drivetrains. Were it practical, I'd consider some of that stuff myself based on it's longstanding reputation.
Ford has similar stuff as well, no question. There's a lot of good stuff out there from different manufacturers for sure -- it's just not always "within reach" to hybrid some of the stuff.

And didn't the 10 bolt come with front-to-back steering? I know my Chevy D44 did. You'd have to convert that to crossover probably.

and you would have to re-route the exhaust to the drivers side if it was a passanger side drop on a Ranger.....that means new, custom Y-pipe, hangers, and brackets.......but then the fuel tank is in the way on the drivers side...
