$100 each wheel or more ($200+). Do the math. and consider the benefits. No TF truck should keep (stick with) the balls especially when it's time for new ones or a "rebuild". Classic parts of America, a sponsor to the Stovebolt, has them at $119 minus our %10 discount ($107) plus ship. This may be cheaper, or equal to, the first example depending on your zip. Get em and be happy. There is no question they are better at load handling and wearability. Bearings always come with races. Ball bearings may be a single unit. Tapered roller bearings have press in races with matched tapered roller inserts. Bartamos.
