Default HUP Halfshaft Failure: Anyone have a spare available?

Afternoon all,

A friend's HUP lost rear drive on Sunday while out for a gentle run.
No drama, no "bang", just failed.

As we suspected, investigation has shown the long halfshaft failed at the start of the splines.

It appears to have been a progressive crack that finally failed.

We now are looking for a replacement.

Does anyone have a spare for sale?

Or does anyone know where else the HUP axle was used in GM's small truck range? As that may give us a lead to a spare.

Many thanks
John
