Nope, and when he asked if he cut of the flange I had asked him to I said I didnt remember that it was a month and a half ago. Cest la Vie.

So I was pretty heated through all this and I remembered I have a friend down the road who wants to sell a lathe, tool sharpener, and grinder. Told the wife the hell with it I was going to go buy the stuff and teach myself how to use it and turn my own hubs.

Once I cooled down I realized that by the time I get the tools, find the hubs (if I can only find dually hubs again) learn how to use the tools, then do the work, and put them on the truck I will be retired and the kids will be in their 30's and I wont need a crew cab truck anymore!

I may still get the tools just to have, I guess I am a tool hoarder.

You could always buy the lathe and set it up in my shop. I would be happy to show you how to use it and let you come by and use it any time you want. I would love to get a lathe and a mill some day. It sucks about the mix up. New hubs are available, but they are a little spendy.
