Hard to find f150 4x4 hub/spindle parts
My new to me truck needed a spindle piece(spindle shaft/axle shaft) the one where the nut that needs the special socket that holds the bearings on the shaft. The little shop called everyone and their momma and no one but a pick a part all the way in Louisiana had the part. Is there a place to find these parts if for some reason I need more?
The dealer, LMCtrucks, the auto parts stores... No one had them. Would be easier if I could upgrade the spindles/hardware as it will be a project truck.
Any input on why parts for the spindle/hub are hard to locate?

I'm sure many scrap yards in the area had it, just not off the truck and ready to go. Up here in the Northeast, thanks to rust, there's always plenty in the scrapyard. Just need some tools and elbow grease to get them off.
As for your question, I've never seen an aftermarket/new replacement part for that.

Thanks for the link eakermeld.
I'm in the army stationed in destin Florida with the closest parts yard a hour away. I knew I should of joined the forum sooner but this was Thursday and after calling around to most truck stores nothing was found.
The truck needs more suspension and drivetrain work I just need to get this one back on the road, I actually enjoy driving it.
Has a leveling kit but I do want to do.....
