Hub Swap Question

[beaterC10]

I want to swap the automatic locking hubs on an 80's Blazer with 10 bolt front axle for manual locking hubs. The manual hubs I want to use are factory Warn hubs from another Blazer.

I looked at the Warn web site and it said I needed to change the spindle nuts if installing aftermarket Warn manual hubs in place of the factory automatic hubs. Does this also apply when changing the factory hubs?

I assume Warn probably sells aftermarket hubs that are the same or similar to what they supplied to GM.

Does anyone know?

I don't remember any GM vehicle that came factory with Warn hubs. However, I'm probably wrong. Anyhow you can get the normal type spindle nuts from anywhere that sells the hubs or off any D44 or 10 bolt with manual locking hubs. If you can't find any let me know I'll send you some. I do know that Warn hubs use these type spindle nuts. Just not sure what the automatics look like.
