What's a good price, complete rear end, posi

There is a whole lot more to it than most people think...reading the manual sounds easy, but most guys run out of patience before it is perfect. Pressing the bearings off-on, more than once gets old, especially if something slips and you ruin one.
I have rebuilt quite a few that the owner "tried" to do himself, all because they got it "close" ....and close is not good enough. If you run it "close", it is destroyed, and you start over from square one.
Pay a professional, get a warranty......priceless

I completely agree. I'm all for doing things yourself (see my truck, mustang, and house remodel threads in my signature) but there are two things that I will never attempt to rebuild. An automatic transmission and a GM rear axle (a lot of the old fords, and maybe newer? the whole third member is swappable!) It's way too easy to screw up and it really doesn't cost that much to have someone do it right, then if THEY did screw up, you have a warranty for THEM to do it again, instead of you having to pay for the parts again AND pay someone to do it the second time!
