Should I look for the needles or the whole bearing?
Both bearings should be replaced. Whats the part # for those in a 1959 chevy truck?

Would you guys know what "U" joint is right for my application? 1958 3100 1/2 ton. I have a slight vibration while driving. There a few options at the local store and was not sure. spicer 1310?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't your truck a '48 3800 (1 Ton)???
U-joints for your truck aren't the same as for Guitplayer's '58 3100 (1/2 Ton).
Just don't want to confuse anybody on which parts fit his requirement.
