Differential issues

Hey guys, I have an '86 Z28 that has some differential problems. A year ago, My car had new axle seals put in, along with brakes. I filled the differential with gear lube and she was fine. This year, I pulled her out of storage and when I drove it home It had this terrible howl.. Well, apparently the pinion was leaking this whole time and i never noticed it, because it was such a slow leak... I changed the seal and filled it back up only to realize my differential is now junk. Within the last month it's really been getting louder and I had to quit driving it from fear of it locking up at 70mph... I was wondering if anyone had a posi carrier laying around for one of these for a 3.73 gear... I have a good ring and pinion from a blazer, just need a carrier. Or even if anyone knows where to get one cheap.

Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks!
