Seeing as how one of the services I provide at the shop is rear ends, I looked at the prices for building them, and I also looked around to see how hard it is to find cores. Considering that around here a USED, 35-40 year old 12 bolt housing, with no guarantee that it is suitable to build a good rearend from, is about $400 to $600, and you'll spend another $500 or so
prepping the housing with caps, studs, and other parts/labor, at a minimum, the aftermarket unit is cheaper.
