I now know these won't work. What do I actually need? I thot my axles were from a 79 k20. I found a part number online for a warn 9072. It looks right. Freakin expensive!

Yeah, those axles are from 1973-1975 K20 (I believe). I have the same axle on my 1988 V10 Suburban. They came from a 1975 K20. They good thing is that you should have a flat top knuckle if you want to do crossover steering later.
Oh, and yeah, the lockouts are more expensive for an external hub.

I priced out the mile markers and they are only a hundred dollars. Compared to 260 for the warns. What's up with that?
Should I just contact warn and try to order the replacement parts I need

Got the new hubs installed. We have four-wheel-drive again! warns let me down so I am going with the mile markers this time
Sweet deal! It could have been WAY worse and a lot more labor intensive. Be thankful it was just a hub! Congrats

kinda....I can say that "taking it easy" offroading....is kinda boring. But none the less, I was off the pavement for a few hours with the truck. Had fun, but still taking it waaaaa easier than everyone else.
Now that I am back, I have a clicking sound while I am at slow speeds and turn the wheel.
I did notice that my XJ shaft connection up at the firewall side, had broken the nut end off the bolt and it was not clamping down hard. This might account for a small amount of slack in my steering.
