See the linked pages below for parts diagrams for your '46 2ton front axle (found using the "GMPartsWiki" search link found in "General Truck Talk" forum).

Biggin69 As I recall that tin cupped washer goes on first,then the inner race pushed on keeps the tin washer centered,the seal (felt)actually seals on the O.D. of the inner race. Hope that helps you been a while since I saw one.
