I have a 1976 Dodge B300 1-ton van. I need a source for the rear axle nut lock washer. It is the tab washer that keys to the rear axle and goes between the two axle nuts. Everyone here says it’s not available. Can anyone help?

Go to an auto parts store and ask to see the “Help” (brand name) line on a rotating rack, or something like it. It’s full of the kind of “ten cent” items like what you’re looking for. Or, you could go to a “U Pull-it” junkyard; it’d probably be free.
