Default Bent front axle... fix or swap?

My 84 Marathon has about a 1/2" bend towards the back on the right side... just noticed it. Looking for a new one gets only 85 on up to ~90 which looks about the same. Is there one I can use without major mods? I can bend and reinforce the old one myself if I have to.

I've straightened them before,just gotta be careful so it doesn't kink,or crush.They bend over time from hitting stuff.

Sounds like a good excuse for a new 4" drop axle lift kit- to me

I haven't been able to find that or any front axles for an 84. You fan that or adapt it from a newer year replacement?

im assuming front axle...
when i got mine, it was bent as well. i cut it apart, widened it, and added 8" of lift to it.
reused the cut out, bent part as a reinforcement too.
