Default no more champion truck plugs???

so i went to my local auto parts store to pick up a set of champion truck plugs #4436 for my 99 ram 318 and they didnt have any so i said order me some, ended up they could'nt find any and called champion them self they were told that they discontinued the 4436 plugs and were not replaced with a different part or number, I guess i will have to go with a different plug ...

car quest had to order mine. i ran them for 500-1000 miles and replaced them with something else because they weren't as good as my bosch platinum +4 plugs.
they're still sitting in my rolling toolbox in the shed.
