You can usually find a good used axle on craigslist for pretty cheap. A direct bolt in replacement will be nice and easy. That or you can rebuild yours. Parts are readily available to go with direct replacement or stronger aftermarket. I see your in Hannibal MO, there is a guy on the Kansas City craigslist that usually has a few of these axles for sale. Now would be a good time to shop for a posi rear end or a change in gear ratio.
