The one in my car was 2600.00 delivered from Dr Diff. You can have one made from a truck donor for less but you have to do something about the lack of pinion mounting plate.
The good thing about the repop is it's all new and ready to bolt in :2thumbs:

Doc dif  makes the snubber mounting plate kit for 60 bucks (58.00)  I installed it on my truck dana I built.  To narrow a 3/4 truck dana is 150 bucks, moser ends are 90.00, doc dif axles are around 300, the rest depends on the sure grip you have and gear selction. I paid 250 for a 35 spline powerlock.

I meant the machine work to mount the plate.

there is no machine work to mount the plate with his kit. He taps 3   1/2 inch solid bars, angles the bottom of the bar stock for the propper fit to the center section, then you use a mig welder to weld the stands on. It took about 20 minutes was all on a rack with the dana installed. I put the bar stock on the snubber plate, then put the snubber plate on the dana in the right spot, put a tac on each bar stock, removed the snubber then finished the weld.  The snubber cost extra :2thumbs:
