The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline 1951 Chevy 1 ton (3800) Rear Wheel Bearings

I am trying to find new rear wheel bearings. I have the manual that says inner is 188930 and outer is 188932. Are these correct? Reason I ask is when I look online the ones I see are the tapered kind. Thought mine were the ball bearing style.

Any information on part numbers or companies to get the ball bearing style would be greatly appreciated.

I've never seen ball brgs. on the rear of one of these trucks. The original are conical shaped but the replacements are straight roller brgs. You should replace both inner & outer when replacing them.

Thanks. You are correct. They are roller bearings and not ball bearings. Any idea what the Timken part numbers would be to replace the inner and outer?

Hy J_Wade, the o.e.m. p/n 188930 interchanges to KD11786Y, National part at RockAuto is $30.79, SKF part is $41.79
o.e.m. p/n 188932 interchanges to KB11630Z, National part at RockAuto is $30.79, SKF part is $43.79
At Napa their p/n BRG KD11786Y is $77.19, BRG KB11630Z is $80.79, hope that helps.

It helps a lot. Thanks for the information.

Is one brand better than another?
