I'm sure there is but I cant think of any right off hand, Yukon maybe. Most guys want to get rid of their 4" bolt pattern axles and get 4.5" because there are a lot more wheel choices. I cant even give away the A-body 4" BP axles I replaced years back in the Duster. If you need a replacement check in the parts sections, there are always a ton for sale there.
I would be happy to take them off your hands!

No actually I have the factory 4 piston disk brakes on the front of the car and the original wheels, so it makes more sense for me to keep her all original.
I have 2 sets of axles but neither are spectacular. Was thinking a nice set would be good to have....
I think I could have Moser make a custom set for me for about 600 dollars.
I don't think its that big a price difference , i want to say that a hi strength axle in both 4" BP , register and brake offset should be readily available , maybe a short lead time to make ?
Keep us posted , I could use a set .

I sell new 5 x 4" axles all the time. They run $390 pair, assembled with studs and Green bearings.
I didn't think the aftermarket axles would fit into the stock setup? Something with brakes or housing?

Why wouldn't they. If they are Built to spec's they will fit just as well as OEM.

my understanding was they are not built to spec.
a large bolt pattern is not built to a body specs , the offset of the axle flange is different to accommodate the larger body brake setups , but it makes zero sense for any company to make a small bolt pattern axle that will not fit a body offset spec , the only SILLY thing i can think of is the axles being too short because of the green bearings CAUSING an issue.
