Pumpkin usually refers to the case, not the differential unit itself that sits inside the case.
When I hear 'differential rebuild' I think about the thingy that does the magic of transferring the power, not the bearings and seals that keep it protected.

tony_r is right, $500 or less gets you a lightly used differential that you can bolt right up to the rear end, just make sure you grab the right model (unless you want to cheat and end up with a gearing change out of it
)
$500 on fleabay: (I bet you can find a used one from someone more reputable for $400 or less though, hey maybe an autoxer/track rat that's gone to aftermarket has a unit laying around or casually for sale)
vs. $1.2k + labor & other parts
