The one and only time I broke an axle was when I was 18 and on a date driving my MG TD. My dad had to tow me home with his '52 Ford pickup, with a quick detour to drop off the lovely and understanding Ellen. In those days one could go to the local wrecking yard and pick an axle even on high school kid pay. Never understood how that "relatively" torque-free, 1250cc engine could break an axle. Maybe it was a Lucas axle...?
As rare as this is, I might consider an aftermarket axle like a Moser, or equivalent, for your truck. Did it hurt the housing?
