Dan,
Thanks for the reply. What we need is one spindle and one 5-bolt hub for the right front. I talked to Inland RV's parts department, and the guy there told me that it was a P32 chassis...still, the consensus from everyone who is outside the Kingman area is that it's a common part, but I have tried local area parts without luck. I have an email inquiry out to Workhorse, which is the company that bought out chev/gmc chassis production. The P30/32 chassis was produced until 2000. I found out there are also P20 and P42 styles, and the P42 has a 5-bolt configuration, but I don't know if it's the same part. I would really appreciate it if you could get back to me with a phone # that I could order from...tucson is close enough for overnight delivery, and that's cheaper than a night at this motel. It does feel like the outer limits or twilight zone.

I am waiting right now to hear from my friend at Merles here in Tucson. He said he would get back to me asap and i will get the info to you as soon as I get word. I can't understand why GM isn't backing up there parts with Inventory?? I don't remember seeing the P-32 mentioned until the 1990 models but Yours could be a p-32.  Mike and Ron have been able to find parts when others have said No Way!! Thay must have more supply places to find whatever from.  This much I do know, The 5-stud hub is harder to find than the smaller 8 stud.  Hewill have to get them but that shouldn't be to hard. Also the spindles will be different too. That much I did remember. They have different bearing sizes and races too!They used the 8 stud for chassies with the 3350 and 1 ton chassie the p-30 was made later tohave the 19.5 wheels and 5 stud fronts and 10 hole rears. And were called 1 1/2 ton chassies. The p-32 also came up with a 16500 gvwr chassie adn the hubs and spindles should be the same part as they superseaded the old number with new number. The front springs and rear axle what the change . Thats why you found out the old number has been changes and the old one discontuned. I already went through this about 7 years ago.  Isn't it fun fixing the old models up?  If you think it s a bang to get parts for a Chevy, Try a Dodge, like a M-500 chassie!!! I happen to have some access to one but Don't know what is aviable on it yet. I know the engine and trans is gone but I don't know about the rest. I can check.

Sorry, I should have read the rest of the threads after you posted to me. i will see if he can get them in case One of you out there in the forums needs a set.
One question pinged off the back of my skull. Did you screw the rotor too??  i just thought with that much laterial movement to screw up the spindle and hub would leave me to think that the rotor could be warped at very least and maybe cracked at worst! I hope not but should check.
