Exactly, I really expected to have to search and search, but like four of them popped right up on Car-part.com in a hurry lol.

My hub showed up today, I have to find some bolts, or wait for my GM ones to show up. Everything they use at work is 10.9 socket head, so I think I'll give that a whirl. For what it's worth, I've been using this brand of hub for awhile now, two year warranty, no questions asked. This one was 58.00.

10.9 is the metric version of grade 8. Should be fine as long as the bolts you need are supposed to be metric.

They are M14x1.0mm thread, and we don't have any, so I guess I won't be putting it together tonight lol.

m14x1 huh? That's fine thread. I just checked the bolt bin here at my office and all we have is m14x2.

Yep, leave it to GM lol. I have a set ordered, i just have no idea when they'll show up. I figured if I could get it together for free, it was worth a shot.

So today, it dawned on me, that since I have four bolts, I can install both hubs and get the brakes fully on and checked for leaks and gravity bled. So I put two bolts in each hub, installed my axleshafts and got the calipers on and gravity bled for now.
I'm going to Ohio this weekend, so I'll put off ordering the disc conversion until next week, but I have ordered a new cover to put a fill plug in, an oil drain bolt and gasket, 1/4 nickel/copper line for the rear, and a adjustable prop valve.
Whenever my four new hub bolts show up I'll finish off the front, get the tires on it, and get it turned around to cut the drum stuff off.

I didn't do a thing this weekend except drink beer, sing karaoke, and swim in the point, but I did get alot of part's in.
My hub's are fully, properly bolted up now, I have the correct Prop valve for the 1/4 line to the rear, I have a cheesy chrome diff cover to weld a fill plug into, I have new axle seals. The only missing part is the disc brake kit from Lugnut4x4, and I have ot remake one of my flares that leaked. Maybe this time I'll buy a tool instead of the crappy, bent, rusty POS I rented from Autozone.
This is the prop valve I used, it was 44 bucks, the cheaper one is for 3/16 line.

The prop valve you got is for 1/4" line? What made you decide to ditch the factory valve? I was tempted myself but thought I would see how things worked and only replace it if it was needed. So far I don't think I need to replace mine...yet.
