Who here runs an offset truck that takes the smaller "offset" nuts on the axle?
If you answered yes, Have you been able to find a place to get replacements easily?
If you answered no, than i can help you.
recently i purchased a box of misc. coarse threaded nylock bolts. ends up there is a whole section in that box that has the exact bolts as the ones that go on your smaller offset axle.
so if anyone needs any of these bolts, let me know.

Adam, I used to own such an offset truck. I found that Home Depot and Lowe's both carried the coarser-threaded locknuts they required. I think they were 1/4"-20, i.e. 1/4" hole diameter, 20 threads per inch. They sold them in little plastic bags, two nuts per bag, for about 99 cents. They were kept in the little drawers of specialized fasteners, washers, etc.
Not everyone lives near a big mega-hardware store like Home Depot, though, so I applaud your effort to let people know you have extras.
