Yup, they are rare on the Ws. On my truck I am pretty sure they are original. Date codes on 3 of 5 are 1961 others are 1958 and they truck has never been painted and they match body color. And the offsets are correct. The truck was bought new by Henkels & McCoy, a utility company in Idaho/Cal/Ore. I think I will keep it the way it is. Maybe down the road if I have time I could explore the W200 axle possibility. i.e. W200 PG hubs on big knuckle 44 axle.
