Where to get a knuckle?

Where to get a knuckle?
Hey guys,
A few months ago now I collected all the parts needed for a front disc brake conversion.
I purchased a front knuckle set from a 74 F100 on ebay. I got one knuckle in one box, and 4 downdraft carbs in another box. Whoops. So I sent the carbs back, and the guy sent the spindle to me. He sent the wrong spindle. I sent that back, and never heard from him again.
So now I have all the parts I need for my disc brake conversion except one damn spindle, and can't find it anywhere.
Does anyone know where I can purchase one, or have one in the backyard I can buy?

WESLEY OBSOLETE PARTS in Liberty KY has ONE = 606-787-5293.
No Ford Dealer, no other obsolete parts vendor has any.
I should have checked FIRST before typing the above post...to see if the D3TZ-A spindles were replaced by Ford.
Both were....by the D5TZ-A spindles. My 10/88 microfiche edition of the 1973/79 Ford truck parts catalog makes no mention of that fact, but my 1979 & 1981 versions do.
The 1975 edition of the O-S-I (Obsolete-Supercede-Interchange) catalog says the same thing: D5TZ3105A replaced D3TZ3105A // D5TZ3106A replaced D3TZ3106A.
My apologies. I of ALL people should have known better, because...Ford replaces 10's or 1000's of part numbers EVERY fracatta year.
Keeping track of all the number changes was...and still is...a royal PITA!
I usually verify part numbers before posting them to see if they were replaced or not, but I was fooled by the casting number specifics.
