Looks like the real old hub/wheel. I'm sure you can get new hubs to go on those axles with the probably 6 lug normal pattern. Or maybe even hubs with 8x6.5 bolt pattern that would be best!

Well I did some digging and here is what I found.
on the outside of my drum there is apart number 8-155(kind of looks like 8-156 but dexter says that does not exists)
I called Dexter and a lady looked up all the part numbers I had and said these are 5200lb axles.
brake parts numbers are:
# 23-105
# 23-106
one is for left one for right side.
bearing numbers are
25580 for inner
LM67048 for outer
Dexter can sell the parts direct but they said cheaper to call fleetpride or other large dist. for better pricing
Fleet pride told me
# 23-105 = $82.13
# 23-106 = $78.21
where as dexter was $92.10 each.
my axles also had a tag on them that said serial # 1057153.
they told me by that number these axles were made in Georgia
and had EXCL Rims and Tries
so these are fully rebuild able and since the rims are 15" you can run just about any trailer tire.

Well great news..
we got the front all welded up and on.. so I could actually move the trailer with my truck right now if i need to.
everything is level and true
we also backed truck up and set height of gooseneck coupler. Next is to get front jack mounted so I can raise the trailer without floor jack. then start on extra supports and deck
