When I looked at the MIB for these devices I saw that half of the traps had
9 varbinds while the other had 5 and they were in order so it was easy
enough to use mib2trap to generate the script and then modify it and hard
code the variables to format the logs.

Thanks for the help!

Scott,
You can address each individual argument in the trap customization using 
$1.....$n and you can
place them in any order that you like. For instance $2 in your example 
would have produced
"04 44 00".
