Default 89 W150 DANA 44 Front End

Hey,

I have a 1989 W150 with a DANA 44 front end. The hubs have worn down on them and need to be replaced. I believe the 4x4 was originally vacuum actuated and was converted to manual locking hubs. I can't seem to find them anywhere, it looks like they hardly make any reproduction parts for these trucks. I am looking for the ones that are in the picture below. Does anyone know where I can find replacement hubs? It doesn't matter to me if they are from a W150, ramcharger, chevy, or whatever else. Or is there some other option that can do to get my truck back on the road again? Any information would be helpful.

The hubs where supplied by Chrysler if you look at the axle breakdown from dana/spicer. Does the front axle have a cad unit or was it blocked off? You could get both cad or locking hubs on these trucks.

The cad unit is still there.

Either if you have locking hubs or it's still the cad unit you need to get them both from the dealer. I looked up your axle and that's what it states because dana didn't make that part of it. Hubs where installed by the factory. If you can the factory part # you then can look and see if any of the aftermarket is making them.
