Help need spindle

I've got a 1973 F-250 4x4 with Dana 44 axles and 8 bolt hubs with drum brakes.

When replacing a noisy bearing on the front, I discovered that its spindle was ground. I can't seem to find a replacement.

I've taken measurement from the good spindle on the other side. The outboard journal is 1.625". The inboard journal is 2.000"

The part number on the good spindle is: W25789X S3T31 I can't find this part number anywhere - I don't know who made this part.

Help!

Negative. Mine is shorter. Updated specs:

Overall length: 6.250"
Overall width (flange): 4.750"
Outer journal: 1.625"
Inner journal: 2.005"
6 holes in the flange

I could use help identifying the vendor from the part number provided.

Thanks

If the part is obsolete, I'll need some direction on how to change the spindle and bearings while all other components remain the same.

Anyone?

For the benefit of others:

SIX STATES DISTRIBUTORS is currently manufacturing these obsolete spindles with a matching part number. I've purchased and installed one.

Thanks to all for the help.
