I'll have to figure out how to post pics, in the meantime it is disc brake and 6 lug. I'm pretty sure the axle is Dana 44, it has 44-8F cast in on the lower side of the pumpkin on the long tube side. I'm not sure the bad lug holes in the hub would show up in a picture, 4 of the holes are ok and the other 2 are just wallowed out enough that the studs drop right in, they wont press fit as they should because the holes are too big.

I picked up a new hub but it doesnt quite work as the inner bearing is bigger than the one on my hub, the outer bearing seems to be the same though. Appears to be a newer model hub, maybe from the 80's. Unless I could change to a newer style spindle although I have no idea what that involves.
