Yes the difference between auto and manual hubs on the old TTB trucks are the spindle nuts.
The wheel bearings / auto hubs are retained to the spindle with a "drift" or metal key that sits in the slot in the spindle, they use a funky plastic spindle nut setup. You are going to remove all of that stuff when you convert to manual hubs.
The manual hubs use a inner spindle nut a lock ring washer and a outer spindle nut (jamb nut)
exactly like the old jeep or a dana 44, many other axles
You will need the manual hub hardware kit for both sides if it does not come with your new hubs
2ea inner spindle nuts, 2 ea lock ring washers, and 2 ea outer jamb nuts.
Most auto parts stores carry these or can get them easily
