Welcome from Jewell Iowa! You should be able to get the rearend and drive shaft parts from Quick Performance in Ames. Doug should be able to help you out. What part of Iowa are you in?
 
Have an 83 grand prix, first gbody build any preps tips tricks are appreciated. Gonna be a 406 SBC for a power plant, but undecided on the rest, most likely a th400.
I went with a Pontiac 400 motor in my 82. Chevy motors dont belong in Pontiacs. Consider a 4-speed conversion. Parts are plentiful and its fairly easy. Makes it sure fun to drive.
