Check the junkyards, and see what you can come up with. If you can get the whole shaft from the yard, with a good joint in it, just swap out the whole thing. If not, just get the stub, and a joint, and call it a day.
yessir i understand. have any clue how much that stuff might cost? on a tight budget i really didnt expect this to happen but i guess i should always expect the unexpected!
I find axles for anywhere from 50 bucks for just a used outer (with tone ring for 4WAL....) to around 300 for the whole axle new......

Keep in mind, that at some point, dana decided that thumping the threads some where the nut would normally sit when properly torqued would help prevent it from backing out..... Strange, considering there is also a cotter key, which they STILL want you to use.....
