WTB 8.5 rearend out of a 71-72 A body

An A body would be a Cutlass,Skylark,Chevelle,Lemans etc. Not interested in anything but those. The reason I state that is last time I ran this anywhere. I got all kinds of responses I've got a rearend out of a Mustang, a Camaro,etc.etc. I don't want to have to fab up anything I want to buy it put my internals in it and install it. If anyone has something please p.m. me. Thanks.
I do not want any rearend other than an 8.5 out of an A body 72 or prior,nothing else. I have my reasons.

Thanks,What about bop ?
Had a chance to check older catalogs at work today. There is no listing for an 8.5" 10-bolt in the Pontiac or Buick early model catalog prior to 1973
for an A-body car.

All the B.S. about the 72 and prior GM 10 bolts geez. They changed so much stuff from year to year that non of us knew I'm practically an expert now. Like who knew the Pontiac 8.2s Changed to the 7/16 lht ring bolts in 1968 ,Buick followed. They make special ring gear bolts to use the later ring gears on the early carriers,On and On and On . If any of you ever have early GM rearend questions hit me up,I probably know.
