Well, I figure I'm going to push nearly $2k since I'm looking at buying quality parts. This is a once and done deal for me. I'm in for $530 at this point. That includes the new to me housing, 9in ends and installation, and having the tubes welded after straightening.

I looked at a Moser 12 bolt and to have it built by Moser the same as my 10 bolt would set me back well over $3k. A junk yard 9 inch would be about the same as what I'm spending on the 10 bolt. That doesn't include changing the rear brakes I have to work on the 9 inch. I decided to stick to the 10 bolt because it's lighter, robs less power, and can handle all the power I'll ever throw at it. A proper rear is going to cost me a lot no matter what. Unless something doesn't work right with the changes I'm making, then it's everything I need. Thanks for the feedback, Steve. I do appreciate it. Keep your fingers crossed for me, lol.
