Default Differential Replacement 1979

My luck has run out and I need to replace the rear in my car. 1979, L82 4 speed.

I'm sure I am in for a bit of work and expense and am wondering if I can grab some thoughts or suggestions from those that have been there and done this before me.

Since I have no choice but to take it out...what other components should I consider replacing while I am dismanteling things to get there.

As like all of us...a tight budget but while I'm at it, I need to at least replace things if I can afford it.....

Thanks...

and if any thoughts where to get a diff at a bargain price...I'm all ears
