71-72 8.5 10 bolt posi axle near Minnesota

Hi all, I am currently looking for a 10 bolt axle for my 1972 Cutlass Supreme. Looking for an axle with posi-traction/anti-spin and preferably a 3.73:1 ratio, but 3.42, 3.23, and even 3.08 would be considered. Hoping someone in Minnesota/Wisconsin has one, but may be willing to travel for the right axle.

Does not need to be an original TO or TM code axle.

I will also potentially have the 2.73 open 10 bolt from my car for sale if I find another axle. Nothing wrong with it, just looking to upgrade to something more fun.

Thanks for reading!

Simpler solution would be to just purchase a new posi unit for your existing 10 bolt with the gears you want. If your current 2.73 10 bolt is a corporate rear you can pick up pretty much everything you need from Summit.
Jim (user monzaz on this site) would be another good place to start. (http://www.jdrace.com/)

I appreciate the responses. I thought about swapping the gears myself, but unfortunately do not have access to a press, so that makes things somewhat challenging. Still just looking for a complete axle.
