The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk 1957 3600 wheel bearing sizes ???

hey all ,, im looking for the front wheel bearing sizes for a 1957 3600 truck with drums on it <<< I have got the spindle size measurements but need the outer sizes so I can do a conversion disc set up ,all the spec sheets only give inner part of the bearing size never the outer case size ,, so fire all those answers at me ,,,
cheers

You'll never find tapered bearings for your 3600 truck. A company called MBS used to make them but not anymore.

Original Equipment ball bearing is all that's availible.

Here's the spindle specs you asked for though:

1953-1959 Chevy 3600, 3800 and 4100 used the same spindles

BTW- Timken and Federal Mogul/National part numbers are B45 outer and B46 for the inners.
