Axle shafts are still available, at least used ones are. Try Corvette Central or Mary Jo.

Where did it break?

I'll post a pic tomorrow if I can remember to snap one. It was the drivers side I'd say a little closer to the pumpkin than half way. My guess is it was pretty loaded at that point. Figgure the Diff is trying to trun it and the tire is the resistance.

Randy's ring and pinion was recommended. I am going to call them today.

Gordon.
