Not sure what shipping would cost, but if you can't find anyone local you could send it to Bairs in PA, USA. They send you a special shipping box and UPS picks it up.

I dont know how capable you are, but with some care, a little bit of research, new bearing kit, ring and pinion gears and posi clutch pack, you can do it yourself. Im lucky, I have access to the correct tooling. I think I spent a grand total of $600 to totally rebuild my differential. Its holding up to big h.p.
I just have little faith is some of the rebuilders. For instance, I talked with a guy about renting a case spreader for my dana 44 I had in another car I had. To do it right you need a case spreader. This guy told me a big sledge hammer knocks the carrier in just fine. Oh gawd!!! Yrs ago, I paid a hot rod shop good money to install a new ring and pinion into my 12 bolt Camaro differential. It lasted just a few thousand miles before coming apart, I rebuilt it at work with my buddy who was into hot rods. Of course many of the guys I worked with were, as we worked for a famous drag racer who's nephew still drives top fuel cars to this day. Anyhow, no mystery to rebuilding one. Care and access to correct tooling is all you need.
