Default Automatic hubs to manuel hubs

Does anyone know what it would take to convert automatic hubs to manuel hubs on my 94' F-350?

Here is the deal. Front drive shaft it turning but, not the tires. I was thinking (scary thought), that these automatic hubs are not locking in. Also, I prefer to have manuel locking hubs. Does it sound like a hub problem to you?

Is that all that would be needed (besides tools and time)? Go down there, get them, and make the swap?

Well if the driveshaft is spinning and the axles are spinning but not the tire the yea it's the hubs. Auto too manual hub isn't hard I'd recommend the warn locking hubs for jus normal off roading but if ur gona b hard on ur 4x4 then go with warn premium hubs, that's wat I'm getting after my stock hubs blow.

Hey Crawler,
Where can I find some of those since O'Reilly and Autozone don't carry them, and about how much do they run?
