    I'm looking for a nice, rust free 8.2 rear differential for a 68-70 Skylark/GS/GSX. Prefer one with posi and 3.23 or 3.42 gear ratio. The housing must be pit free - the internals can be changed if needed.

    Thanks.

    Jim,

    I've got a greasy, grimy '68 (I think) 8.2 under my wagon that came from California. Would have to take a close look at it but should be nice. It's a 2.56 open. Also have a '68 8.2 out of a GS350. Its rusty and crusty but has a 3.23 open in it. Don't know what the gears look like, never opened it up, but I think the car had about 114K on it. LMK if you are interested.

    '68 8.2, 390 gears,(GM), posi, fairly nice. Was sandblasted. Clutches need work.

    Thanks John. Don't go to too much trouble looking as I think I found one that's in a friends car that is within driving distance that won't require shipping.
