Auto. to Manual hub conversion

I have searched everywhere to see what models interchange with my '89 Bronco II front Auto. to Manual hub conversion.
One source was here:
Ford Bronco II bronco II & forum
A friend is throwing out his 03/95 Mazda B2300 pickup truck. It has the manual front hubs. I removed the hubs (that come off once the road wheel is removed), but I'm not sure if they will work on my '89 BII and/or if that is all i need from his truck to complete the swap?
I did check Hollander Interchange, and the results were inconclusive.
Does anyone know if this truck's front hubs will work on my '89?
If NOT, what is the cut off year/make and models of what will fit my '89?
Thanks in advance for any help.

First, you need to identify which front axle you have (click the link) and see if your '89 does indeed have a non-hybrid D35 (all D35 parts, not a D35 case with D28 guts, etc.). If it does, I believe the '95 Mazda truck has the D35 TTB as well (you'd know if it does, it's pretty obvious when you look underneath), in which case the hubs would swap. I'm more inclined to believe your '89 has a D28, though - in which case, there is no way they'd swap. If I were doing a swap on a D35, I'd get the hubs for the conversion kit for a rear Jeep 35 (much stronger) anyhow. More info:

Most likely you have a true D28. D35 was introduced for the '91 model, and shows up (from the factory) in a few '90 models.

When gathering parts for the swap, you'll need the locknuts and such that hold the wheel bearings on, in addition to the outer hub.
