HUGE 98 f150 front cv problems!

ok so the other day i was in my 98 f150 4wd, backing out of my spot at applebees, whe the whole left front side of the truck droped...hard. i got out...while cursing and screaming at the truck..and saw my lower ball joint snaped, in turn ripped the cv axel, along with the shaft that bolts to the cv that slides into the diff. after a long wait to get the truck towed home, istarted to tear down. ball joint is changed, but the problem is the part that bolts onto the far inside (flat surface) of the cv axel pullrd out too, this part had a bearing on it, now lost somewhere in the parkinglot many miles away, and the seal that is on the outside of the diff is ripped up. anyone have an idea what parts i need to get or where to get parts for this short axel diff thing?

To buy from ford will be expensive...

To buy aftermarket chinese parts will be unsafe....

To buy at a local junkyard where you can actually see the parts you need to pull really makes more sense. And will be cheaper.
