I priced the 3:38 gear set from the vendors and after figuring in new 
bearing to do a thorough rebuilt-your looking in the $600 dollar range. For 
lots cheaper you can purchase a complete rear end from a local yard, clean 
it up and install this to replace the current rear end-I just completed 
this.. When you say removed the third member and swap the whole assembly 
from an older blazer--are you referring to the entire rear end. The gear 
set and innards from an older blazer won't fit in the original rear end 
carrier--from all i've ever known..  --wayne
