3/8 axle is ok for this bike needs to be able to take a 7speed freewheel
and a front hub for the same bike 3/8s axle
decent quality but not costly
 
135mm and I think the front is 110 mm
complete wheels i do not want as I have some Rigida double wall reinforced eyelet rims
 
Yikes,

going to be hard finding at reasonable price. Surly Polo hubs were the cheapest I've found. I believe this has a freewheel on both sides (flipflop?).

Seller is slow, but prices are great. You can call Surly and ask them directly if this would work with your 7 speed freewheel.

I went with 48h Staton on the rear since his has a left handed freewheel. On the front, I went with 48h White Industries since I wanted at least one disc brake.

Good luck,

I have four 48 spoke fronts and 2 rears wheels off of 20" BMX bikes. One coaster, one single speed. Cost per bike $4 at Goodwill.

From Sheldon Brown:

A single-speed (BMX) freewheel is a modular unit, consisting of a single sprocket and its associated freewheel (coasting) mechanism. These have standard 1.37" x 24 tpi threads, and fit on any hub that takes a thread-on freewheel. This includes BMX hubs, track hubs, and multi-speed freewheel hubs.

I think the OCC chopper will accept multi speed freewheel.
 
If I can have these machined on a cnc mill for a custom recumbent delta trike.
hand built frame welded by me
I think I know what size a freewheel thread is

Ibedayank,

How about buying a set of bmx 48h hubs and welding a slice into the hub. Of course you'd have to replace the axles. I don't know if'd work - $25.00 and some change.

Here's a cheap set on Ebay:
