Warn locking hubs question

1975 F250 4x4 with C6 transmission, Dana 44 3300 LB front axle and non Ford manual locking hubs.
Truck has what appears to be period correct WARN 198B manual hubs shown below; I suspect these were installed as a conversion kit on a full time 4WD truck.
Hubs are 100% operational but very dirty/grimey.





I'm rebuilding the front drum brakes and need the O rings that seal these hubs to the axles.
I can't seem to find the 198B series on the Warn website- hoping someone has some info available.
Thanks in advance

Those are a common aftermarket replacement and good hubs. I'm not sure who sells parts for them but if you can't find the O rings silicone will work fine.

This should be the kit you need. https://www.warn.com/warn-industries...ub-service-kit

If the trandfer case lever or pattern is ... 4 H ... 2 H ... Neutral ... 4 L ... from rear to front, it's part time 4wd with the NP-205 transfer case. I forget the positions with a full time 4wd, but it's different.

Its a full time 4wd with the NP-203 transfer case.
I have the paperwork from the original owner (I am second owner) of it being converted at purchase time.
Thanks

If you just need orings they are probably a standard size. Try taking them to a NAPA, good hardware store, or a Fastenal location if you have one near you to match them up.
