You can check here and look at your local scrap yard and maybe find some good parts there. Check on Craigslist as well for your area or close by.

Good luck, Bro.

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
depends on where your located as to how easy parts will be to source.

broncograveyard.com is the best place to start. I assume it's the Dana 28 front axle?

Uh, no. Any auto parts store has those u-joints.

Unless you meant axle shaft, then broncograveyard will have those parts.

im not exactly sure what to call the part that broke but it broke at the u-joint and ended up mangling the part of the axle that the hub rides on, the longer axle shaft is fine though

Oh, shit...yea. Looks like you're heading to a JY, bro. It's the axle shaft itself thats bad. Thank god they're easy enough to get to. Broncograveyard doesnt sell axle shafts for the Dana 28 unfortunatley
