What vehicles and what years will I be able to find 4.10 differentials on? Vans, trucks, RV's, etc. And will I be able to keep full-time 4WD, just by switching out the hubs or whatever. I really like that luxury. I need a list so I can go looking for some. 6 lug unless that can be switched from what I have now.

where to find 4.11s

If you want to stay with 1/2-ton axles, then it's going to be VERY difficult to find 4.10's in a junk yard. That was a pretty rare option on 1/2-ton trucks.
You best bet is to install 4.10's into your current axles.
4.10's are easier to find in 3/4-ton trucks. 4.56's were also an option for the 3/4-tons. They're more rare, but can be found. Of course, with the exception of some later model years, 3/4-ton axles are 8-lug.

not worried about staying with 1/2 ton. Or even with 6 lug as long as I can get the gears I want. With having to pull everyone under the sun out of mud holes and getting to holes they get stuck in, I fear for they safety of my rear end and front end.
I would install new gears if I could but I don't have the money to have someone do it and from what others have said, I'm doubting my ability to do it myself.
If you don't care about staying with the 6-lug, then start looking for 3/4-ton trucks. There are deals out there, if you keep your eyes open. I recently picked up a 14-bolt FF with 4.10's for $150.
Note that if you want to install a Detroit Locker in a 14-bolt FF that you need to have an open carrier. It won't fit into the carrier for the Gov-Loc.
