Used to be able to get Tapered for 52 and up spindles, but they aren't out there anymore either.
I did a bunch of research awhile back. The inner bearings aren't really a big deal to find tapereds, but GM used an oddball on the outer.
There's nothing really wrong with the OE style ball bearings. They actually roll easier and take misalignment better than tapers.

My inner bearing races are grooved pretty good. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 | | | |
