The answer to your question is YES... 72 was a transition year. The 8.2 was used for most of the 72 model year then late in the run they switched to the 8.5.

Will a 1968 Chevelle rear end fit a Chevy s10?

Not without some serious modification. Chevelles had a coil spring rear suspension while the S-10 uses leaf springs. While I haven't measured, I'm pretty sure the Chevelle rear end is also wider than an S-10 rear end. Now, you COULD change the spring mounts and narrow the Chevelle rear end to fit, but there are alternatives that would be MUCH easier to use in an S-10.
