I can find them for 1/2 tons all over the place, but not for 3/4 ton. Any suggestions?

As for numbers, I cant help.

I was hoping someone had a link to some specialty shop that sold them, but like most things worth doing, it isn't always that easy. Now...off to find a Federal-Mogul master bearing catalog.

Some of it may or may noy not pertain t you, this is just a collection of information that I have gathered over time. I hope something here helps. If nothing here works for you you might try asking Denny Graham. He has a 3/4 ton and might have the info you need.
