Default 1989 G20 van rear end options

Hello folks, i'm brand new but it looks like i may become a regular. I'm a day away from buying a 1989 chevy G20 5.7l v8 van and it needs a rebuilt rear end/differential.
Rebuilding is way out of my budget and pay grade, but I'm willing to grab one from the salvage yard. Do any of you know which other vehicles utilize the same or compatible rear end?
Thank you in advance.

Its prob just a regular 9.5 inch. I would take it to an axle shop and get a tru-track locker put in, since we all know how much GM limited slip blows.
They can do the axle bearings and seals at the same time.
I just had my eaton g80 locker fixed. I had a used one swapped into my diff.

It should be the 8.5" 10-bolt.... I have one I just pulled out of my G20 when I did the 4x4 conversion. I'd sell it for $100
