Sounds like it's near my place if you are interested.  Looks like an 8.2 from the diff housing not having the square ends to it.

It's not a Chevy 8.2... must be BOP as it doesn't have the stamped upside-down "V" in the cover to direct oil to the outer bearings.

Are you guys sure about it not being an 8.2"?  This looks exactly like the 8.2 that was in my 71 Malibu.  It didn't have the V cover on it, and that car was completely original.  Maybe they ran out of Chevy 10 bolts and subbed in a BOP when the car was built?

 Yes, it is an 8.2 but not a Chevy. BOPs had the round cover and generally used a cone clutch system with 2 piece carrier for the posi. They also stayed with bolt in axles, where Chevy went the notorious c-clip route.

Yep, that's what's under my vert.  Got it from Chris P. and rebuilt by Steve S. since it was stronger and a better gear ratio with posi than the 8.2 Chevy 10 bolt that was original to the car.

 I thought yours was an 8.5 Buick 10 bolt ???

 I was referring to the BOP style features, and yes it's an 8.5.
