Another follow up...
The VIN number on the chassis matches that on the body. Also, I went into Midas to have an exhaust leak fixed today and I mentioned the weird brakes to the mechanic. He said that he'd seen a lot of trucks from farmers in Oregon with the drum brakes. So, it looks like I have the old style spindles (the brake lines are attached on the back of the front cross member), however at least I may not have a messed up truck.
