Re: Who is brave enough to make it for me?

Buy some new spindles from a quality manufacture rather than having someone turn one out. Spindle stubs are forged, heat treated, and then ground to dimension, they are NOT just a turned piece of steel. Remember that this one part must support half of the weight of the front axle, plus the forces of any potholes, speedbumps, drainage dips, plus any debris you may not see in the road. It is just not worth it to risk your pride and joy (not to mention the life of all those in the truck when they break) to save about three hundred bucks.
