Hello Adam, thanks for reaching out. I do have a potential solution for you, but I am sorry to say that we do not offer a hub that fits your specifications. The sizes you listed are basically obsolete these days. Your best option here will be to replace the spindles with something more modern, or replace the axle entirely.
Replacing spindles can be done but it requires special equipment and needs to be welded on professionally. A good spindle option is the #84 E-Z Lube Spindle w/ Brake Flange for 3,500-lb Trailer Axle # TRU74FR. This can be paired with the # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K hub.
Replacing the axle is also a possibility. I will need to know the hub face length of the current axle in order to recommend a replacement. If you can let me know in the comments below I am happy to look into it and see if we have anything for you.
