It looks like they kept the front knuckles. Everything outside of that appears to be new. Obviously, the backing plates appear to have been replaced as the air brake pivot is attached to it and the brake shoe actuator and brake shoes have to be quite different than the originals. Can’t tell on the hubs, but the 5 center lugs holding on the red plate to the hub are much smaller diameter than the PWs. Something with the hub has been changed. It might be new hubs or an adapter was made that bolts to the original hubs. It’s full time 4x4 as there is a drive flange. I wonder if the red center with the spokes may be part of the replacement hub with the brakes mounted behind it.
What ever was done it’s kind of interesting.
