That depends on what you need from that 12 bolt diff. For street only you can stay with the c-clip axles you have. If this a dual use truck for both street and strip then you will need to get rid of the c-clips.
Then comes the big one. Can you do the work yourself and do it correctly or will you need to send it to a diff shop?
If you can cut the ends, replace them with ford ends and new axles you can probably do the entire diff including an upgrade to an Eaton posi carrier for about $900.00. If you have to send that 12 bolt to a diff shop, the cost is going to be nearer to 1500.00 and, for that money, I would either build or buy a nine inch built to the width you need with all of the correct bracketry.
It's a matter of your skills and money. mostly money.
