Since you are in Portland I think I can help. I suggest calling 6 States Distibutors on Columbia Blvd 503 249 1010 and see if they can transfer the gears from your old axle to the new one. This way you know the gear ratio will match and the broken diff will go away too.

That's a great idea, thanks! I hadn't thought about them. They helped me with parts for my locking hubs.

The 11- 41 indicates 3.73. It is not a posi. Not sure where the pieces came from.

Those look like pieces from a Gov-Loc. I'll bet the rear grenaded and the owner put in open gears without cleaning things up thoroughly.
