Default Trying to locate a 8.5 Big 10 rear end for 1967 Camaro

If anyone knows where I could even find a casing or stock to be rebuilt I would be very appreciative. I absolutely cannot locate one of these anywhere except the ones someone is trying to get a piece of gold for and not looking to spend the 2000 for an aftermarket one. Thank you and please let me know if you know something. This rear end is obsolete now in junk yards it seems and I have given up all hope and may just have to rebuild the oem 8.2 in there.

Nothing wrong with the OEM 8.2 axle.
My 4.11:1 with spacer axle lasted 9 years in an upper 12-sec Camaro equipped with 28X10.5 slicks.

It is cheaper to keep.

I actually just located a 8.5 from a 77 Nova in great shape for $200 locally, thanks for the replies!

For the future, the 67 did not have staggered shocks, and as far as I can tell, all 8.5's did. So, a corporate 8.5 would not be a straight bolt in for a 67. Plus a lot of 67's came with mono-spring perches. 8.5's came with multi-leafs perches. Failure to correct this would affect ride height.
