Can't find this steering knuckle

[Red October]

My steering knuckle took a shit and cannot find one that has the vacuum line coming out of it .

I believe that would be a '98-2000 only thing with the PVH hubs, I believe after that they went away from hubs and went live with just the transfer case for a disconnect. I believe you can ditch those without too much issue.

Probably why I can't find any. I'm not even sure what to do or convert to get rid of this setup

Probably just complete hub assembly and CV axle at most, I don't know how the disengaging happened...

If you want to switch to the later '01-'11 live spindle setup, this might help:

1998-2000 Ford Ranger PVH Hub Swap To Live Axle

Otherwise there also is this option:

1998-2000 Ford Ranger Rugged Ridge (AVM) Locking Hubs

There also is a way to work the PVH hubs manually by removing the outer cover part and cutting out the metal screens so it's just a hole. You then put your finger in through the hole and operate them not much unlike a click-type ballpoint pen (for some reason I'm not seeing a link to the article now )

In all three cases this will negate whether your spindle has a spot for the vacuum line or not.
