Oh and the rims that we have are 6 bolt

 

If you cant find a 6 bolt rearend you can swap your axles out with a 5 bolt pretty easily but the 6 bolt rear end should be an easy find.

 

You should easily be able to find a 10bolt rear differential laying around somewhere. I wouldnt pay more than 100 to 150 at max. Dont let them know how badly you need it and youll get a good deal. I can go down the street right now and get a 3/4 ton running gear on wheels with driveshafts, leaf springs, th400 w/ case for under $500.... and thats pretty common.

 

I have a couple questions about what you have said here. You say the driveshaft is fine, u-joints are fine, but your driveshaft fell out? So did the straps on the pinion yoke break? Also, if you can move the pinion side to side, is there any fluid leaking from it? There is a seal there, if you have movement on your pinion then you have a leak. Be sure the large nut in the center of that pinion is tight too.

 

I know that the nut is sitting in my house and the pinion is still sitting in the truck. Its not leaking now but I wasn't the one who was driving when it fell out. He said something like the bolt that holds the driveshaft up in the back broke. I wish I had something to take pictures with, but I don't.

 

No worries.... Parts like axles can vary from state to state... In Oregon nobody want's 3.73's, with the hills we have 4.10 and 4.56 are minimum if you're running anything other than stock size tires.

I traded my to bolt in great condition to a local 4x4 parts store for an Extreme high lift jack... I thought I got a great deal... Otherwise it was worth scrap value.

To the OP, what are the pieces that are broken? i'm still confused with what actually happened.

Check out the members map from another board I'm on and let me know if any member is near you. Maybe they can help sourcing a part....
