I am not sure if this has been shared here before, but as I have been researching wheel bearings for some time it's worth sharing again. I was having problems trying to locate tapered roller bearings for the front of my "58 4400 "Thor". I had worn out my welcome at all the FLAPS in town, NAPA was trying hard but just couldn't find a match. Taking the measurements from the actual cones and races I buried myself in the internet, everything just brings another rabbit hole.

I did finally come across a site that allows you to enter bearing measurements and search in that forum. This site gives you options for bearing type as well as dimensions. The end is a real Part Number that crosses to a Timken, National or SKF number. Using this I was able to locate bearings and get them ordered through Amazon at a greatly reduced price.
