They are all over the internet, you might even find one in your color. I see them all the time at swap meets.

If you're going to do it yourself I strongly advise you take a look at the service manual.

Sounds like part of the suspension is broken. The upright and/or tie rod or something else. Hopefully the differential didn't receive too hard of a hit from the axle. You'll have to jack it up and see.
