I'm getting conflicting info from various sites as to the replacement part#. The inner bearing has 909526 stamped on the outer race and 909525 for the outer race of the outer bearing. These are stock bearings. I'm finding B01 for the outer. But different sites are conflicting on the inner bearing. Some sites say a B25, others say a B52. Also where have you guys purchased yours from?
Thanks for any help.

I have bought from Napa, Ebay, Jim Carter, and I believe Chevs of the 40's. Its been a couple years now so its not fresh on my mind. I also had to do the rear bearings and seals twice so I don't recall what I bought from where exactly. However I did write down all the part numbers because of the same issues you are describing.
Happy hunting. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 301 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 301 | Thanks for the reply. I drove all of the races out and got the original part numbers. I'm having trouble reliably crossing them to replacement part numbers. So I ordered a set from autozone. I'm a little skeptical they will be right as they list the same bearings for a 1/2 tone and 3/4 ton which I don't believe is correct. I will soon find out and reply back.

The resto places want to charge you $75 or more a bearing. NAPA wanted $131 for the inner bearing! National, Timken, SKF......they use the same part number. The inner bearing is a B46, the outer bearing is a B25. Rock Auto sells the Timken and National brand for about $50 each. Don't buy from autozone, they list the bearings for a 3/4 as the same for a 1/2 ton and a 3/4 ton has a larger spindle. I mic'd my bearings and the measurements match up to the specs that Timken has and they cross reference to the OEM numbers which match also.
