Interchangable Knuckle/Spindle?

Hey guys....

I have an '85 F-150, and right now I am changing the right knuckle/spindle. That part cannot be bought new, so, I have to get it from a junkyard.

What years are compatible? Can I get a newer F-150 knuckle? If so, what year? Do I have to get an older knuckle? Or do I have to get the exact year?

The junkyard should be able to tell you what interchanges, just call them and tell them what you need.

From the 1980/89 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog:

EOTZ3105P .. Right Spindle-Use with forged axle / Obsolete / No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

Fits: 1983 F150 2WD from 1/1983 / 1984 F150 2WD / 1985 F150 2WD before 7/1985.
