I have seen the kits from Chevy Duty etc, but the price seems a little high. Anybody got some advice on this? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,867 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,867 | Just email some of the parts companies and ask them for the numbers off the bearing and race. Ive done that before. Then call up a bearing place and get them for much cheaper. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | do a search on some of the forums for MBS roller bearings - been discussed before and that's the brand I recall being given

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

If I'm not mistaken they fit ½-ton trucks from '51-'59. | | |
