76 f250 Spindle Problem

I've got a 76 highboy that has the heavy duty 44 front diff. The previous owner evidently trashed one of the hubs and replaced it with a light duty unit. When I tried to replace it with the heavy duty unit, I found that the spindle was different and the rotor would go too far back and hit the caliper mounts. Can anyone tell me what spindles will interchange to fix this. I'm having a hard time finding any parts or info on the heavy duty diff.

You probably need a HD rotor.

Thanks for using FTE!
