Not long ago I "posed" the same question but most were saying why not use the ballbearings as they had lasted all these years. I see some logic there if, as someone mentioned, they are properly tightened etc. I ended up going with the ball bearings and have no regrets but I think I really like the taper ones better. I'm sure either one will work OK its just that we are always wanting to make our trucks better and last longer. I think I will go tapered on the one I'm working on now though since they may be more readily available and more economical in the future should replacement become necessary.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
