I sold one on ebay many years ago, just the pumpkin, for $250 and the guy
paid shipping to Scotland.  YMMV.

3.7's aren't that rare, but they are very desirable and usually go for a pretty penny.  $300 for the diff or $300 for the entire axle.  The axle and rubber bumper springs aren't worth much.  :-)

I have a whiney 3.7 out in the garage.  Whines under acceleration and cruise=
, quiet when coasting or decelerating.  Can't make myself scrap it, but I do=
ubt if it's repairable.

There is a significant market for the 3.77 pumpkin for Spridgeters trying
to reduce the rpm at highway cruising speeds (yes, a 5-speed is more
effective at this) as well as replacements for whiny and broken diffs. The
3.90's10-tooth pinion gear is more rugged than the 3.77's 9-tooth pinion.
The 3.77 was only used for the last two years of production, while the 3.90
ran for about ten years, so it is usually easier to find a decent 3.90.

Thanks for the explanation David can tell me if the 10 tooth 3.90 is the
biggest or if the language is has the most teeth? Also more importantly
where on the rear can I read which one I have on Pinky, as I know it was
larger when Frank looked at it when I got her home from LA back on 2006.
