You'll definitely need at least one new axle and a new hub to go with it. The whole rear end should be taken apart and rebuilt. You might be able to find some NOS axles - lookup BarnFind here on the BARN. He may have them. If it was mine, I'd but TWO!

Also, you are SUPER lucky that the drum stayed on the car when you were last driving it. The whole tip of that axle could have broken off and then the whole drum/wheel falls right off the car.
