Default 89 w150 Front Hubs

Hey, I have a 1989 w150 that I have owned for a few months now. It has the Dana 44 front end. The front hubs are bad and need to be replaced. As I am finding out parts are hard to find. I am having difficulty finding them and striking out everywhere. Does anyone know where I can find replacement hubs for it? Or are there any hubs from a different truck that would work? I thought I read a forum a while back that said you could use old chevy hubs but I can't seem to find the forum anywhere. Any info would be helpful.

Thanks

Do you have locking hubs on that? Or does it use the central axle disconnect.

Pretty sure you can use pretty much anyones hubs. Warn, Milemarker, etc. Lots of folks make 'em.

Sorry, guess I should have clarified. I know I can find the locking hubs just about anywhere. What I am having trouble finding is the hub with the studs in it that have bearings inside. The picture below is like the ones that I am talking about.

Oh. Yeah. Try Quad4x4, Randy's Ring and Pinion, etc. I don't know what interchange is like on those..... If you don't want to pay "new" prices, check out car-part.com, and do a search. Might be able to come up with something.

What's wrong with yours? There really isn't much too 'em.
