Rear end diff rebuild price?

[454Man]

What do they go for these days. Getting bad sound when I turn left and I believe its coming from the diff.

[454Man]

Just got a quote of 800-1200 not including the ring and pinon. I know that can't be right

[Fairlane514]

Is it a posi?      If you are do-it-yourselfer get a DVD rebuild, the parts and do it much cheaper.  I have done several 9 inch Ford Traction Lok rear ends just for the price of the parts. Ring and pinion 150.00,  seals shims, gaskets 85.00, if if needs new clutches and bearings, thrust washers, maybe another 100.00.

I am a diy, but time is short. I work two jobs and just don't have the down time it would take a first timer trying not to mess up. What other years/ models will be a direct fit? I found a 84 burb that's being parted out will a diff from a burb fit?
Oh I wish it was a posi... peg leg burn outs

[454Man]

Found another burb diff. 3:42 w/ posi
500 bucks. Any ideas?

That is about what I was quoted a couple of years back for a 1995 C1500.  I told them they were nuts and found a parts truck for $140 which was the gas to go get it...

     If you never have done it before, I suggest to find a whole axle, swap out and then tinker with your old one as time permits.  It is difficult to get it right unless you do it all the time.

Thanks for the replies guys! Money is kinda tight with my dad just passed, so I'm lookin to find another rearend. Like to find one with a posi and 3:42 gears but posi isn't nessary... so far I've found one w/o posi for $200 and with posi $500 both are from burbans from the 80s. What y'all think?

[454Man]

Will the rear end from a burban fit a c10? I'm thinking so but wanted to make sure. Anyone know for sure?

[Captkaos]

Any 1/2T axle will swap ( stay 2wd if you have 2wd and same for 4x4)

[454Man]

Ok thanks! So the 2wd and 4wd rears dont swap?

[Captkaos]

different lug pattern. 5 vs 6 lug

[454Man]

Cool thanks. Btw ill be needing a couple of those 6x9 cab corner boxes after I get my rear end and trans fixed

[Captkaos]

IF it is the same spline count you can swap the backing plates and axles...

bigblock73 sells the corner brackets...

Ok just called the guy and he says its a 6 lug and id need to chang
