Where to buy castle nut for front wheel spindle…
 
For a 67 GMC 1/2 ton, drum brakes. I bought a Dorman from a local chain parts store, and although it threads on, it threads on loose - one can rattle it back and forth until it starts to tighten against the bearing washer, which tells me that maybe 1/3 of the thread is holding…that can’t be good. A used one in nice shape would wok…

How did I lose the original? I would be happier if I knew…it’s somewhere in the abyss I call my garage…

LockDoc beat me to it. I think I have two still on the spindles from my 67 shoved under a shelf in my shop.
