OC-12 Drop Box Cracked

IMPossible

New member
Hey all,
A season back we were driving the big monster vancat and cracked the rear diff drop box housing on the left side (went over a sharp short incline like a teeter totter and came down too hard).
The crack goes through the drop box and the lid, We got it priced out at $2500 to replace ($1600 for the housing, $900 for the lid or something like that).
Is that a fair price? Seems steep but I know that parts for the oc-12 are hard to come by. Do you think its out of the question to find someone that could potentially weld any part of it back together?
I also know a machinist that said he could potentially make a new one from scratch for not too much more out of a stronger material. Any problems with doing something like that?

Thanks in advance!
