my front hub got torn to shreads when my wheel bearing disintegrated.

I'm looking for a new one but I'm extremely secluded in Alaska (no roads in/out) and don't have access to any junkyards.  I've been browsing forums + ebay but haven't had any luck yet.

The truck is a 1989 Dodge W250 with the Cummins in it.  The axle I believe is a Dana 60, 3.07 gear ratio and must have the heavier weight rated hub (because of the diesel).  I'm checking on the part # + axle again tonight.

I'm only asking of people who are familiar with what I'm looking for and I will make it worth your time.  Run by your local yard and see if there's a first gen Cummins there that they'd be willing to part out.

I know this is a long shot but I'm gettin down to last resorts.

Thanks for anything

yeah dodge doesn't make the part anymore and there's five shops in the country that still have it in stock.. I got a quote for $700 + shipping.  It's probably be ~$100 from a yard.  if that.

the large circular piece that the bearings fit into and that the rotars are attached to (in my case).  The axle goes through the center and the hub locks attach to the end.

You'd be better off asking on an automotive site.  I'm sure someone on pirate4x4.com has 10 lying around.
