NO. Steering characteristics are way different.

Look for posts by TMAmerica. I'm pretty sure he drooped the middle axle, pushed up the rear axle and used a come-a-long to pull his "chunk". I'll see what I can dig up.

Ahh, missed that part. As requested!

I'd pull both axles out. If there is no breakage, then you know its something in the 3rd member.

That sounds wrong to me. Just like if you lifted that side of the axle off the ground(with the bolts still in it), you should be able to spin it.

Funny, I've never heard of breaking the center axles. My issue is tearing up the 3rd members! I am getting ready to put the third one in my front axle.

1400s don't fit w/o major work.

I dunno, I've been running 395s on my truck and have yet to snap any axles. Some say I baby the truck though. ;)

It takes 8 seconds to pull an axle out of the housing. You could have figured it out in the time it took to post the thread. At least its a non-steer axle. Pop out the broken and install a replacement, done deal.
