They come w/ a lifetime warranty too, the ones on the left of the pic should be yours

I may have a set of the premium milemarker hub switches laying around. They have the silver or gold metal free/lock knobs. Would that work for you?

perhaps... i have never done this before so im kinda new, let me ask some people if they do how much do you want?

I believe the lock - out hubs are replaceable. Any auto parts store should carry them. The screws are allen head and it should take about 5 minutes to replace per side. Grease the lock - unlock hub good so they don't freeze.

Hubs are easy, don't even have to take the wheels off or jack the truck up.

Warn Premiums are like $80-90 if you scrounge. I'd get those, replace them both, and if/when you get a Dana 60, sell the Warns for $50 or so to the next guy.

Umm, duct tape to cover it up ... removing the hub is just like unlocking it. 'Course you won't have 4WD, but if it's only road use you'd be in 2WD anyway.
