a spindle nut is a nut that threads onto a spindle. There is no spindle on the rear. Yoke and yoke(pinion) nut can be found at jeffsbroncograveyard. axleflange nuts can probably be found there too, or try lmc.

Maybe I'm looking at this all wrong. You didn't specify, but are you possibly talking about a full float rear with the exterior hub?

What year, sounds like 2 1/2" x 12" shoes as 68 D60 had 2 3/8" nut and later I belive 2 9/16", bigger tube, bearing, nut and lock nut ID. I see you found were "Mr.Cave Man" has worked on your truck in the past. Remember locknut torque is 90 to 110 ft/pounds, .001" to .010" hub end clearace, I prefer just detectable, easy on bearings, not pounding the bearings and the seals are not stretched due to a loose hub. If you can find the small axle tube lock washers let me know.

Sounds like a Pick-N-Pull trips in your future, you'll see the nuts on the ground after people have pulled hubs, small simple parts the yard will most likely give to you.
Check on the nuts as they may be rounded corner or pointed so they're all the same for your socket. I find KD Tools as a good source for wheel bearing sockets, be sure to get the right one for rounded or pointed nuts. Correct torque is 90 to 110 ft/pounds. ( not 90 to 110 poundings with hammer and chisel).
