Outer smaller bearing:
Brand--Timken #LM11919 and #LM11949 (one is the bearing, one is the race)
Larger inner bearing:
Brand--MBS #909052R (all one piece)
Seal:
Brand--Timken #6064
I think these will fit many other years as well, hope this helps you.

Any problems with the install? Are they a direct swap in? Did you buy them locally at a bearing house or order them from a vendor?
Thanks, Jeff

The parts are a direct install, using stock spindles and brake drums. Very easy to install, lube 'em up, slap 'em in. A local brake guy told me to tighten the bearings fairly snug, then back off about 1/4 turn. Seemed to work good, they spin easily and there is no wobble when I try to make it do so.
I bought them from a vendor online thru ebay. I originally had purchased another set thru Bowtie Bits, but they were cheap Chinese bearings with no identification numbers stamped on them. I returned them, I wanted USA, Japanese, or German bearings. The Timken's are USA, the MBS are made in Japan. Much better quality than those ones Bowtie wanted to sell me.
Have a nice day,
Possum | | |
