dana 80 axle shaft f450

Iv got a truck im working on for someone else. its a 1994 2wd ford f450 bucket truck. They initially thought a transmission problem and asked me to look at it. problem quickly found the problem was in the rear axle. first thing pull a shaft. broken in two. good news right easy fix. right? well that is if i can find a new axle shaft. Its a dana 80 i found a stamped number in the flange after i cleaned it up and the number although hard to read appears to be "43651-1" I will be pulling the opposite shaft to verify measurements listed for that part number. however a truck parts house i was talking too said they don't show that part as being available at any of there suppliers or Dana. however they did say they may have some other sources. but wanted to know for sure we had the right number before trying that route.

the parts dealer i was talking to is a big truck parts place, i hardly ever work on anything as small as a f450 any more so im not really up to date on the best parts suppliers for these things.

the listing i have from a spicier parts book lists that part number as 37.67 length flange face to end of shaft 1.60 spline dia - 37 spline length 1.75 flange diameter 5.17 bolt circle 4.33 8 bolts (Still need to verify these measurements off the intact axle shaft)(Also does not appear to be offset to either side so both lengths should be the same will verify this as well) so far have varifyed the flange and bolt measurements appear to be correct need to pull the opposite axle to remove the broken portion anyway.

knowing the dana 80 is a pretty popular rear end in custom/off road applications. I am wondering if anyone has any good reliable aftermarket source for this axle shaft. I don't want to spend forever trying to track down this axle shaft and need it fairly quickly. (don't need it yesterday but asap anyway) as reasonably priced as possible.

 

i got one coming today $181 plus freight should be here Friday. my parts guy had me scared saying it was showing not available. went back today after verifying everything. then he called dana and they said back ordered sense aug not sure when they would be getting any in. then he made about 3 more phone calls before locating one.

thanks
