I would see if it can't be rebuilt. If you say broke the axle. Do you mean the whole housing and the outter parts. Or is it just the axles them selves. If you can rebuild it? I would. I haven't been in GA enough to tell you where to go. So I hope you find someone that can help. Just think faster,and more powerfull. Thats what I do when crap happens.
The cheapest would be a salvage yard. You may find parts on ebay as well though. Any F150 axle from the year model should work. The problem is that the rear end (housing) in an L is unique in that the passenger side shock mount faces forward. I'd guess that all you'd need is a new axle to replace the broken one. Call around to your local driveline shops (4x4 shops) and get some ideas about cost.
The guy at the shop says I need a new housing and all. I know it cant be too hard to put in, i'm just wondering how much it will cost.
Here is a great site that searches junkyards around the country http://www.car-part.com
I did a searsh in the south eastern US http://car-part.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi
If you get the parts it is an easy swap, your inshurance should cover it!!!
