If it was mine, I would pull it apart and sandblast the housing. If the ring & pinion aren't too pitted, I would just wire wheel/brush them and see how they are. Then I'd put it back together with a new ring & pinion install kit, and a new trac-loc kit.

With the holes, there are two options I would use.
1) After blasting, weld up the majority of the thru holes and grind smooth.
or
2) Locate a cleaner housing. There are thousands of them out there.

Those are the ones I use, and I feel that they are about the best for the money.

I would just send it to me, no need for you to bother with that darn old thing.
Gear oil smells good when your running down the road, thats what driving a 30 year old car is all about.
And now, for something completely different!!!!
