There was never a hub rebuild kit from Nissan as an original spare. Only individual components.
You can download the 1973 Parts Manual, or refer to the following online page:
http://www.carpartsmanual.com/nissan/pa ... ge-spindle
The big seals (#16) on that page are really the only ones difficult to obtain. You can order from Amayama. The knuckle bearings (4 total) are regular bearings, as well as the wheel bearings. Even the wheel hub seal can be locally sourced.

I ordered the following hub seals from Amazon, but have not installed yet (insert disclaimer here:
TCM 65X88X12TC-BX NBR (Buna Rubber)/Carbon Steel Oil Seal, TC Type, 2.559" x 3.465" x 0.472"
65mm x 88mm x 12mm

I also have this in my notes regarding the Knuckle Bearings (4 total). Please note that older Patrols use a cone on the upper caps instead of bearings. The cones are unobtanium!
30304 Nachi Tapered Roller Bearing (purchased from VXB Bearings Amazon)

There are O-rings on each base for the bearings, that you probably can source locally as well. There's also bearing (#18) inside the spindle. This is probably not critical if yours have locking hubs, since it probably has no wear at all. Don't have a reference for it, but for sure can be sourced easily.
