New gears, new spiders, a rebuild kit for the posi, if you have one, and a 'master install kit' for the gears. I would replace axle bearings as well. Several quarts of the correct fluid.

Ever done gears before? Its a pretty exact science.... need a selection of special tools.....

Also consider sourcing a good used rear end in the gear ratio you need from a local salvage yard then hang a new set of brake pads and change out the differential fluid if you don't have the skills to set up a rear end.

Most of the time, this ends up being the cheaper option as well. Paying someone to do the work gets expensive in a hurry. (as gear setup is a time consuming affair.)
