for everything except a new posi, you can find soft parts, bearings, gears, and so forth at either
ratech racing or
randys ring and pinion.
they are not cheapo, usually a few dollars more than the typcial run of the mill 10 bolt garden variety rear. (although rear axle parts are really expensive anymore, price a 8.5" posi these days)
as for axles, I'm not sure, you can probably get custom axles for them from moser, or wherever. the posi can be rebuilt if its not too far gone, basically, you face off the cones to make them shorter, then shim them back up on the fat side.
miles from 9bolt.com also has parts, but is very difficult to get in touch with.
ta performance also makes a new diff girdle, and offers a stud kit to beef them em.
