Any auto parts store. Your car may have a 10-bolt, but it won't be a 8.5. Check Jeg's 720-63.

Re: Differential Gasket

I haven't used a gasket for a diff in about 25 years. If you're worried about removing the old silicone the next time you take the cover off, just how often are you removing it? Even if you don't change your diff oil in less than 4 years, it's not that bad to scrape off old silicone.
