Way too much for an open, but that's me. Sounds like a $600-800 deal to me. My son has a properly built 8.5, - 30 spline Moser axles with a new Yukon posi. Without brakes he was $12-1400 all in. We still have the original axles and posi. It's a shame that GM decided 28 spline axles were enough, because they aren't. They are toothpicks compared to a 30, 31, 33 or 35 spline axle. They aren't much more than 26 spline 7.5 axles IMO. But this comes down to your application and power you're intending to make - application meaning what tire.
I've said it many times that a 7.5 with an aftermarket 28 spline axle and either factory carrier from a later model or aftermarket 28 spline carrier will live forever on a street tire that won't hook up. The key is proper setup, NO sticky tires and good axles. If you ignore any one of those 3, then 7.5 is a time bomb.
