I don't see "safer" or "better" in there? It's not just you/your truck on the road....the drivers side is the one that is trying to loosen the locknut pack anyway, so any movement there is not good.
Even "IF" there is a bearing made like that (I'm not saying there is...I don't know) If there is, why would you think that your "worn" spindle was still
round where that bearing is supposed to ride? If it spins in the spindle, the weight of the truck pushing down, wouldn't it wear more on the bottom? making the spindle "out of round"? Would a smaller bearing even fit? The diameter of the threaded portion of the spindle is the same as the outer bearing anyway, how could you get something "smaller" past that?
"Special/odd" parts like that are notoriously hard to get "on the road" too. If you would break down somewhere? what then?
A boneyard spindle shouldn't cost that much.
