Does anyone have an exploded view of the ball bearings, races, seals, etc...for a '50, 3100??? I have looked everywhere and can't find one. Here is why I ask...

When I removed the drumm/hub assembly from the front passenger side spindle, a portion of the REAR (inside) seal stayed in the inner race, but the felt pad stayed on the spindle. Having never worked on a truck this old before I didn't think too much about it but I DID make a mental note.

It became evident that something was up when I removed the drum/hub assembly from the drivers side...on the drivers side, that inner seal assembly stayed seated in the race and when I removed it I oticed that the felt pad was securely sandwiched between the two pieces of the inner seal.

This clued me in to the fact that the inner seal on the passenger side was missing half of that seal...RIGHT?!

Here's the NEXT kicker...I went down to NAPA and ordered the inner seal and when I opened the box, what I was looking at was what appeared to be only one half of what made up the original seal that I have...no felt pad or nothing...

I'm puzzled as all hell now and since I can't find an exploded view anywhere I need some help.

Yall may ask for pictures but this FNG hasn't figured out how to post pics yet so I hope that my description will suffice...

I thought I would be able find it in the "Assembly Manual" that I spent a freaking fortune on...what a freaking waste of money THAT was...but that's for a different forum...
