I’ve looked, there never were Timken tapered roller bearings for the AD 1 ton front axles.
The roller bearings that were available were special, made more or less to order for the restoration parts supplier, they did not carry a normal part number, we’re not available anywhere else.

The ball type bearings have served me well so far in my 1 tons. Just read the manual on adjusting them, not quite the same as you may be accustomed to for tapered roller bearings.
