Hi all, I have a cj2a with Dana 44’s front and rear and my front hub is about shot I tried to find the bill of material # on the axle tube but it doesn’t seem to be there or is lost with time, any other way to id an hub ?? PS my gears aren’t stock either?? And six states truck pro says they need a BOM to match up a hub? Is this so??

Any clues what the axle was from?  I assume it's still 5x5.5?  Disc or drums?  What are the bearing/race/seal numbers?

Yes it is 5x5.5 but I have no clue as to it’s origin and the previous owner has passed and all I can read on the tube looks like the year was ‘68

There were Ford and IH Scout II applications for the Dana 44 Front axles, probably others. 
 
Pictures of a hub, and measurements of the center might provide clues. 
If you can't get there in a Jeep you don't need to be there!

The old bearings and seal numbers would likely be definitive.

just wondering hubs don't usually go bad. whats wrong with yours. if it is a 44 front, probably scout.
i thought all Jeep 44 hubs were all the same but could be wrong.
call Jon at Border parts,  spring valley Ca.

The inner hub itself is prolly fine but the outer flange where the wheel studs are have been opened up so much from studs breaking free that that hub has bigger studs than the rest of the Jeep and they’re breaking welds off and on so I just figured I’d start over new

18590/18520 lists for a 70-71 Gladiator but my Timken book only goes back to 70 so there may be more Gladiator applications prior to that.  Is the axle closed knuckle?

I'm guessing the hub you want is the 63-71 Gladiator/J truck hub.  I have a 67 J3000 with that axle that I'm scraping out but, frankly, I'm not too enthusiastic about shoveling a snow pit and dissecting it right now.
