Couple of things, One is to take it to a welding/fab shop and see what they can do for you, try to get a quote from them before they start work. Next is look for a used front diff Dana 60 is what you are looking for, a good used diff will cost anywhere from $100 to $1000 just depends on your area. It might be cheaper just to change the diff out with a used one over what the welding shop might charge, installing a used diff is a bolt in job not hard at all. Gear ratio must match the rear diff, might also look for a cheap whole beat up truck thats good for parts only.
