Junkyard is about your only choice. You can have your existing axles "sleeved" though - any truck shop should be able to do it

Yes,the axles are interchangeable.I have a set you can have for $20 plus shipping.I have a rear end from my '88 that I pulled to install the locker rear.Let me know,and I'll step out to the garage and pull them for you and get them boxed up.
