Haven't come across that first sort... I've got this old 6spd DA hub I fit a cut-down HG spline body to. I couldn't remove the inner section of the freewheel mechanism; it's got a big hollow rivet (it's part of the hubshell, IIRC) instead of the threaded sleeve.

This is an aluminum Trek. Is that too much to flex the frame?
Measure the distance between the dropouts with the wheel out. I wouldn't want to stretch an ally frame more than 2mm. You can easily fit an 8/9/10spd hub into 126mm if you use an OCR, though... I worked out that has less dish than a normal 130mm wheel.
