Thanks for the input, sounds like sound advice. I'll just clean and repack those bearings pop in my wheel cylinders and roll for a while.
I just got this old truck running but I sure miss it when its down. Regarding my wheel bearings, when I started bringing this truck back to life, all the wheel bearings were bad.
Since I figured they would be chore to find, I took them to "BDI", the bearing place in town.
The guy there said he hasn't seen bearings like that in years. He told me that he would try to cross the numbers but the new ones would probably be taper bearings. That is actually what I wanted. Since I was spending a fortune, I might as well upgrade it.
When my bearings came in, his supplier sent the original barrel roller type bearings. They were all the exact same numbers as I had given him. I guess they had a bunch of new old stock laying around.
Since then I went to CarQuest and they could have acutally ordered me modern replacements. Oh well, learn something new everyday.
