Default Differential posi carrier question

Does anyone here know if the posi carrier used in the pre '80 Corvettes was used in any other applications such as the 10 or 12 bolt rear ends?
I have a '67 differential that was given to me but the posi carier, ring, and pinion are trashed. I have a good set of 3.36 gears that originally came out of my Corvette but need a new posi carrier and a rebuild to make this rear end functional again. Any ideas on where to get a deal on a good used one or a new one?

The Corvette posi carrier in those years is unique to the Vette and no other car. A dealer in used parts will usually have a 3 series carrier. They are common. The 4 series carrier is not to common and costs$$$ to get one.

I believe they are 3.08 or 3.36 that are in it so 3 series carrier is probably what I need. Any idea on what a good used one goes for?
Thanks.

Eaton has new carriers for around $450 but, I have heard they may be in short supply right now. Check with Tom's Differential or Randy's Ring&Pinion for avalibility.
