Default WTB: 7.5 rearend near TN

I am looking for a bolt in factory rearend for my 1998 Camaro SS. My current rear is starting to pop when i go around corners and instead of taking a chance of messing it up, I'd just like to bolt another one in it's place. I'd rather have another 3:42, but a 3:23 from an automatic would be fine. Mine is 4 channel with traction control so I'd rather the replacement be the same, but I could live without it until I save up the $$ to get a Ford 9". Anyone in or near TN that has one laying around please give me a shout. I might even buy one that's broken, I could try to rebuild it outside of the car since my car is still driveable for now. Thanks

may also be interested in a good 12 bolt or 9" as long as the price isn't too crazy

found a used one a few miles away, it was a 3.42 so i just transferred the posi + ring gear to my old housing and old pinion......i was a little nervous since i'd never done it before, but it was actually a breeze.....i went "el cheapo" bigtime and used the old carrier bearings from the purchased rear and the kept shims that were in my original.....all in all it's pretty quiet, only has a very slight deceleration whine when i let off the gas, but i'm cool with it......glad to be back rolling again

wish I had seen this a few days ago. I just drove across that state on my way to AL. I've got a factory 3 channel 10 bolt here with 4.10's ready to go.
