Let's be clear about this, you got teeth floating around in your rear end and you're considering doing a less than complete overhaul. I recommend that the rear end be completely disassembled, including pulling the axles, and flushed to make sure you got all the teeth out. I'm guessing that the rear is a Dana but either way unless you have a car lift it's probably easier to pull the entire rear and do the teardown on the floor. Then at some point in time you'll want to figure out why this happened. I'm guessing one tire in the mud the other on dry pavement and the foot in the carb. When it comes time to putting this rear back together you really need to find a reputable shop, no magic just some special measuring tools required and experience. Have fun. :burnout:
