I would look at craigslist or S10 forums for people selling rear ends. They usually swap them out in favor of a rear end with 3.42 gears so you could probably get it for next to nothing.

water pump im just trying to do everything i can it may not happen but shows i thought about the idea already
I'm in the same boat, I'm considering it also, though I don't know if i should wait till i swap engines or not. If you can find other justifications for swapping it in (your old one crapped out, looking to squeeze every bit of horsepower, want to make it rev quicker) then it may be easier to bite the bullet of the price.

with a chip u never know 1 might come out
The only chips that are out are "performance" ones, which all they do is dump more fuel into the vehicle. The closest thing to a chip is a mail order tune from a place like wait4me or pcmforless.

plexi glass windows im pretty sure are legal in my state due to how weak the inspection is here
I forgot about that so you could be fine with it.

I forgot to add, if you're going to be doing a lot of electrical changes/ additions to the S10, look into upgrading the Big Three Wiring which will help supply the electrical demands
