Interesting question. The regulations apply to commercial vehicles. If you are not operating commercially you are not required to update the vehicle. The flatbed is either the load, removable, or part of the vehicle, bolted. Since you converted the vehicle you may be required to comply...

If they are original seals it was just there time. Last time I lost a seal it soaked they brakes but the shoes and drums cleaned up real nice. The cost was for the labor to do both axles. In addition to seals and hub gaskets he also replaced the rollers, springs, s cam bushings and slack...
