Blew a bearing, is my spindle reusable?

I’m not sure I will have much luck finding this model of truck spindle in my local junkyards. I check the websites frequently but they almost never have 90s Chevy trucks there.
I’m just super not excited about buying new spindles and doing that job right now. Ugh
Spindles? As in 2 of them?

There's a guy on GMT400, @Joe Dirte in Ohio, just this week parting out his truck. He didn't say if it's 2x4 or 4x4, it is a six-lug.

See

Awesome. I have a 96 c1500 with the five lug I’m not sure if that is compatible ?

I saw in a video that I need to put a jack under the lower control arm and it didn’t really look too complicated, I am just tired of working on my truck at this point.
I knew I was gonna have some maintenance work to do when I bought the thing last year (only 42,000 miles)
But it’s been nothing but trouble for me so far
Bad water pump
Bad alternator
Rear pinion drive shaft seal just started leaking.
Now this!
I’m about to sell this thing, any takers?

I found this for a replacement.
I believe it would work fine. I really don’t want to pull that old knuckle off and repack the bearings etc but I probably should…
Check car-part dot com. You can search by zip code, and I'll bet you can find one locally. I just checked using 02801 as an example and found several.
