1975 cutlass rear end

Hello forum. I hope someone here can help me out. I got my son a 1975 cutlass as a graduation gift this year. He absolutely loves it. Recently the axle bearings went out and messed up other parts of the rear end and I was wanting to find another one that would fit his car. His engine is a 350 gold rocket. What other cars can my mechanic take the rear end off and use on his car.

Any 1973-1977 GM A-body (Cutlass, Chevelle, LeMans, Century, Regal, Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, etc). Pay attention to the rear brakes, as most came with 11 x 2 drums but some got the 9.5 x 2 drums.

If you happen to be on Vancouver Island, I have a limited slip rear end out of a '74 Skylark.

And if you swap the entire axle you need to compare the ratios of the two, otherwise the speedometer will be off.

I have a 1975 cutlass I am parting out here in Indianapolis. I believe the rear end is good but do not know the ratio. It was a 350 with AC car.

I'm in Louisiana. Can't imagine what the shipping would be from there.
