1968 B body 8 3/4 complete rear axle assembly

$500 steep? For a complete drum to drum axle? Man, you guys must get hellacious deals where you're from...I paid $375 for just a used 741 SG chunk with 3.23 gears...so another $125 for a housing with axles and brakes seems like an OK deal to me...especially if I were in the Bay Area, but I'm not...
