2WD Axle Shaft Replacement

Gotta an issue you might be able to help me out with...

Last year my 86' 2WD truck spun into a curb during a rain storm and bent the drivers side axle shaft. Some new wheels and tires later and the truck is still kicking today, although the drivers side rear wheel wobbles (+/-3 degrees off center) from the bent axle shaft. Upon closer inspection, I've found that I have the 1 ton axle (30 spline) which is proving difficult to find a replacement for. I either find highly overpriced complete 1 ton 2WD axle assemblies or 1 ton axle shafts for 4WD (6 lug pattern versus the 5 lug on the 2WD). I would ideally like to keep the 1 ton axle and my current bolt pattern.

Any ideas on how I could fix this? Money isn't a huge issue as much as if I'm gonna be forking out some cash, I'd rather get a 'better than stock' new parts versus decrepit 25 year old parts.

EDIT: After a little bit of searching, I've come across a part number for Toyota Parts Zone that should fit the bill, however I would still like to leave this open to aftermarket options if they exist.
