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.
