My blazer drives smooth in front wheel drive

Well it finally happened. Drive up a gradual incline on a highway, and my rear end blew out. Driveshaft spins freely with only a nice clanking noisein the rear.

I put it in 4X4 and got home fine in front wheel drive. Pulled the cover and it's a mess of broken metal. If I'm going to pay a mechanic a few hundred to fix it, I'm thinking of getting a new axle.

It's a 71 CST with a 12 bolt rear and posi from the factory. What are my options for axles? All I know of the top of my head is Boyce equipment, but I can't find a 12 bolt on their website.
Any ideas are much appreciated.
Thanks,
-Tim
