Did you ever get these bushings made for your spindles or did you end up turning the axles down?

I have a 1962 GMC K1000 that had disk brakes installed by the previous owner. The install had some issues, namely the bearing/bushing issue you're having to deal with.

I got in touch with R&P 4WD in Oregon and they got me squared away. What I ended up doing is aquiring a second set of outer axle stubs to have modified to fit the later model bearing spindle. It was explained to me that only a very minimal amount had to be removed and the hardening process they due on that part of the axle stub extends quite a bit deeper than what was removed so no issues should be found.

I plan on going back to drum brakes to make the truck original, but turning the axle stubs has been done.
