It was only within then last year or so that the cushion became available and finding an NOS part was difficult. The Shop manual will help you a lot, it has step by step instructions on replacing the bearing, cushion, slingers, etc..... Here's a link to the Old Car Manual Project. You'll find a lot of good information there. Open up the 1948-51 Chevy Truck Shop Manual, go to page 4-56 and it discusses repair of the bearing support. Best wishes on a successful repair.
