Default S10 rearend

I am looking for a S10 rearend for my sister's studebaker project. It needs to be a 3.42 ratio and have disc brakes out of a 4x2. Anyone have any idea where to find one of these? I have tried some online junkyard sites and have had no luck so far. It does not have to be a 8.5" ring gear since it is going into a lightweight car, but that would be a plus. The closest junkyard to me is 60 miles away too.

All of the salvage from our insurance company goes to a salvage unit called CoPart, you might be able to score one from them.

If you look for a rear axle out of a S-10 ZR2 p-up or ZR2 Blazer, they have 3.73 gears, disc brakes, and are the 8.5" 10 bolt.

Like I said, we send all our salvage to them, and we're the #2 non-standard auto ins co in the country.

We need a 3:43 rear gear because that is what the computer is calibrated for. The engine going in the stude is out of a 2000 Blazer with the 4L60-E. Should make for a decently quick lightweight little car for her.
My dad has been checking ebay out and there is a guy in florida that has tons of these rearends, but shipping back home to california would be killer, and it would almost make sense then to have a new one made .
I am at school in Prescott Arizona, and have Las Vegas 3 hours north and Phoenix 1.5 hours south. So I was wondering about online junkyards that could allow me to pick one up and bring it home when I am finished with school here in the next couple of weeks.

One of the major CoPart yards is here in SoCal if that helps any. Don't know if they sell to individuals but it certainly wouldnt hurt to ask.
