Default spindle problem

on my 2001 dodge 2500. I lost both of my spindle nuts when i was working on my axle. and i need to get replacements asap for them i have been to every autoparts store in town and to the dealership. no one has any for my truck and the dealer has them for $60 bucks a piece.i cant afford right now to pay that type of money out for a simple nut. does anybody have any options to help me with this problem. I have also called to the junkyards and and they dont keep them in stock

thanks mike

You DO NOT reuse spindle nuts. Unfortunately brand new is the only way to go.

If they are castle nuts with a cotter pin, you can reuse them. Go look in a JY.

Good question huh? I'm assuming it's 4, since he has a plow.

Are you talking about the front hub nuts? I've reused those for years.
