Need axle source

Hi everyone,
I am currently stranded in Rapid City, SD with scored spindles on both of my 6000# axles. I had all my brakes and bearings replaced 1500 miles ago. While traveling I heard a lot of noise and took my rig into a local repair shop. We took apart the wheel assembly and the previous shop did not put the cotter pins in the castle nuts and ruined the spindles, bearings, brakes and drums. The repair shop and myself is having a rough time finding replacement parts or complete replacement axles.
2004 Wildcat 27rl.

Any help would be appreciated so I don't have to stay here for an estimated 3 weeks that it would take to make new spindles.

Have you tried the Trailer parts Superstore on line? Easternmarine.com. They have many parts for trailer axles. Good luck in your search
