ok..normally someone will say....SERCH!!!!!..but...since this is not that place...or here that kind of people arent here....im going to explain you...and ask you...
why do you want locking hubs?....
and there are options...
warn has a kit for the dana 30.."locking hubs"
and mile marker has another one....im not quite sure but teraflex may have one too...
if you want to swap...
d44 of a waggy "full size jeep" waggoner..
d44 of a 1979 bronco
d44 8 bolt hub 1979 f250....
this swap will be some what close to 800$....brackets,welding,hubs,pads,calipers,gears, driveshaft...and i think 800$ is short....so may be 1200$ using stock axle shafts....
there are your options..

the big question is why? unless you're building a super nice D30 theres no point. that being said, i wouldnt use anything but this:

Not sure i understand you but you are saying you are installing a locker up front and you don't think a back locker is good? Correct me if i'm wrong. What rear axle do you have? Why do you want locking hubs for? We need more info.

I think he means he has a 8.25 rear, and that he wants to know what type of lockers we are all running. Right???
