Default Manual Locking Hubs

Hey guys, I'm wondering if I can remove the front hubs and install manual locking hubs and remove the auto systems and would it even be worth the cost and time? Where could I find a kit to do this?
This is on a 04 FX4 Supercab.
Thanks

Given enough fabrication skill and money, just about anything is possible. The bigger question is why? The auto hub system on Ford 4x4s is very well established, and reliable. Although failures are known to happen, I had more hub failures with Warn manual hubs on my old Jeep than I ever have with my F150...

FWIW, You got pics of that Celica? I had a '76 liftback in college and it is one of the cars I REALLY miss...

Not right now I don't, I'm in the process of restoring it.
