Default Where to buy loaded rear spindle housings

I'm looking for the best place to purchase loaded rear spindle housings for my 79 vette I have the two housings that came off and they are good for cores I'm just looking for the best quality cheapest area to purchase ones that have the bearings in already cause I don't want to go threw the headaches of trying to put them in myself thanks

Where have you looked? Several of the vendors on the forum list have rebuilt/rebuild services available.

I am trying to remember the name of the place I got mine from. Pretty sure it was a place in Florida, possibly vansteel. I paid like $175 each for them, completely rebuilt with new everything. That was about 5 years ago.
Edit : Yes it was Vansteel and they still do it. complete rebuilds are going for $204 right now.

I called up vansteel and talked to a guy he was suggesting to ship off my trailing arms to them to to check if they were bent my 79 only has 58,000 miles on it I was wondering if I have to go that route it was an xtra 200 a piece to get them looked at and cleaned up also or can I just send out my housings and spindles and have them put the bearings in and stuff cause on the loaded spindle housing setup that they sell has a lifetime warranty so if my bearings go bad cant I just send them back to get repaired
