Yeah, good luck with that. I'm sure some Chevelle owner will jump on the opportunity to trade his stronger, more popular axle for your orphan Type O.
Besides, Type C 12 bolt axles for A-body cars are getting to be priced out of reach of mere mortals. And before you jump on the 8.5" Corporate 10 bolt, just remember that other than parts availabilty there's no advantage. Also keep in mind that Type O axles are retained at the outboard ends, so you don't need to install C-clip eliminator kits. I suspect that if you total up the cost, it will likely be cheaper to keep your Type O. Parts (posi carriers, gears, etc) are available here:
