Help finding spindle/hub 72 highboy
I have 72 f250 4x4 and just recently saw that the drivers side spindle is pretty beat up and the outer bearing does not sit well on it.
I've searched and found one on ebay but it looks even worse than mine.
Its got six bolt holes and a larger diameter for the inner bearing.
I'm thinking that a few of you have upgraded to newer axles and may have some left over parts?
It doesn't seem like these dana 44's are very desirable haha
Parts number on my spindle says 25789X-S3G96
Any help is greatly appeciated

I saw an early highboy out at the yard over the weekend, the axle was stripped down to the spindles, but it was the small ball version...
I'm almost 100% certain they're different spindles though, iirc they take different wheel bearings.

Where in CA are you located? There's a long time family owned truck dismantlers yard here in LA LA Land that probably has several of these spindles.

Several years ago, Dave (garbz2) and I were poking around the 2nd floor mezzanine. Dave looked down, spotted the spindles, said "those are hard to find." Dave has a 1968 F250 4WD Crew Cab.

Well,
I stopped by today to take a look for one. They had probably around ten that looked really similar to mine but part numbers didn't match. Actually all the part numbers I saw started with a 'B'. The other difference was they all had needle bearings where the axle rides were as mine has a bronze bushing...
Not sure where to go from here...they might have one that matches up dimension wise and just throw that one?

Did you get any prices on the spindles they had in stock? Orich may be right by upgrading to a newer Dana 44 axle I come across them alot more then our old closed knuckle axles. I know where there is some old axles but since you said there's a couple different kinds of spindles I don't know if any will be the right one you need without tearing them apart

These might be a possibility (the seller doesn't say what they came off)
I can see they're 6 bolt spindles, and the seller states "8 lug dana 44 HD".
