Rear end?

Anyone have any advice for me?? I am trying to find a housing for my car. Were the factory 10 bolts in the third gens 7.5" ring gears? And if so, are there any other factory GM rear ends that will work as a swap (i.e. have the torque arm bolt holes)? I am ideally looking for a 12 bolt or at least an 8.5" 10 bolt. Thanks alot.
