Try a junkyard.

No, wait. You have the flange hubs. While you're at the junkyard, get a whole new TTB front end. It's easier to swap the whole thing than it is to convert. Plus, you'll never find parts for your whacked-out front end.

He's just asking for the spindles you pull out with the slide hammer, right? Did the older trucks have something different?

Yeah, it's pretty much just junkyard (hard to extract) or stupid prices at the dealer. Or NAPA may have them, they have surprised me with some odd parts, sometimes right in stock.

The flange hub front axle is totally different from any other TTB front end. They're hard to find parts for, they're hard to work on, and they just plain suck.

no they are actual steering knuckles with the spindal for the bearings to ride on.
