Average Differential shop costs?

Hey everyone
I know that you are all somewhere else than Kansas (or most of you), but I want to see what you're guys costs are. I have a new Summit Detroit locker and Richmond 3.70 gears for my 9 inch. I also have the 2 overhaul kits with the bearings and shims (one for the gears and one for the locker). If I were to bring my differential into a shop to install those gears, check for backlash, and install the locker into my diff. housing, how much would that cost? And that is if I take the rear end to them, not the car.
Thanks guys!
Danny

Based on standing around the Ford dealer in 1971 whilst my 8" was redone, probably figure 3 hours at their labor rate.
