It also doesn't hurt to check those mounting bolts from time to time for tightness because they can back out.
and only lock your hubs when you are actually going to use them saves a lot of wear and tear on everything

Thanks guys, I like the quick fix solution over the axle swap. There's to much room for headaches when you start piecing things together. I'm sure when I purchase the new hubs there will be directions included but what's your thoughts on using thread lock? Advantage would be bolts may not back out, disadvantage would be if bolts break it may be impossible to remove with ezout??? Would a high grade stud be the way to go? I read that in a previous post. Oh ya, I spoke with a rancher today he said the best way to fix the problem on "those old chevy's" is to weld the hubs on. I'm not sold on the idea seems like it would create many other poblems.
