Cheapest would be Tumbleweeds
I'd really be sure you want to stick with 10 bolts before buying new parts. Most don't think it's cost effective
If you do decide you want to stick with 10 bolts get Tumbleweeds spider gears and keep you eye out for whole 10 bolts as a spare
Often people are giving them away
I couldn't give mine away and off to scrap they went

Better check the bearings and the ring & pinion for damage from metal bits posing as lube.

ya i have a little chip in the ring gear but thats been there for awhile, i really dont want to fix the 10 bolt and i would rather go buy a 14ff but i dont have the money to do it right, so i just want to replace the spiders because you could see they were wore out and just get back on the road.
PM'd ya tumbleweed

You'll probably want to be looking at used.
Last I priced side/pinion gears in a 10 bolt they were $80. Of course, you need to make sure that whatever ones you get, if used, the cup washers under the gears are in perfect shape.
