I would agree a junkyard axle would be easiest.
Just make sure if yours is 4x4 it's out of a 4x4 or 2wd/2wd.
The gear ratio should be the same. The RPO code will be G somthing. Can't remeber now I think GU or GT with a number following. Just match the numbers. Unless it has been regeard it's the same. G80 is the factory locker.

There should be sticker inside your glove box.
GQ1 -- AXLE REAR, STD RATIO
GT4 -- AXLE REAR, 3.73 RATIO
GT5 -- AXLE REAR, 4.10 RATIO
GU4 -- AXLE REAR, 3.08 RATIO
GU5 -- AXLE REAR, 3.23 RATIO
GU6 -- AXLE REAR, 3.42 RATIO
G80 -- AXLE REAR, LIMITED SLIP (POSITRACTION

Looks like the consensus is to find a good low-mileage junkyard axle and swap it out. Fortunately for me, my father-in-law's best friend owns a wrecking yard with plenty of S/T trucks. I should be able to get the "Hiatt Family Discount" for an axle.
Thanks for all of your help!
