I would expect they are 2 different part numbers and doubt it would work. I have no idea how to chemically or otherwise compare the two cats.

Since the s10 never had a 3.0 the odds are increased that it won't work.

I don't recommend attempting it. I have no way of verifying if it would or not. There are universal converters that fit various models, but those are sometimes problematic. So it may function acceptably, but I wouldn't do it.
