I have a bent left rear axle shaft on my 2003 1500-series 2WD pickup.
I've called around on the phone, and looked around on the internet,
and I can't find anyone selling the replacement axles for this
truck.

There's a very common part, Hollander 2030, listed to fit 1994-2000.
Everyone sells it, and it's cheap.

Is it possible that these are interchangeable?

thanks,

Martin

Check http://www.rockauto.com They show a listing for an '03 1500 axle
shaft. It's the same part number as both a 2000 and a 1995, so it appears
that they all use the same axle shaft.

Thanks,

I'll go ahead and order a generic part since they appear to
interchange. My local dealership wanted over $400 for this item.
