The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts 54/55 350 series COE front wheel bearings

Does anyone know the NAPA (or other supplier) part numbers for inner and outer front wheel bearing sets for a 1954/55 350 series GMC COE?

Thanks,
Tim

Hy tcledreman, factory p/n inner 7450335 = hyatt C125298WA = bower 25583 - 25519, factory p/n outer 7450336 = hyatt A1342242 = bower 15103S -15243 , hope that helps.

Hy again tclederman, I did some more research and came up with the Napa numbers BRG BR25583 @ $59.99 , BRG BR25519 @ $26.49 , BRG15103S @ $23.49 , BRG BR15243 @ $12.49 , hope that helps

3B the Hyatt # C125298WA is the same as My 56 inner bearing how did you find the cross reference numbers for these? I had no luck with three different bearing houses and Napa good find. I am leaving a link to a picture of the bearings inner seal and spindle from my 56. Note the inner bearing has the seal surface built in this was the biggest road block I hit trying to find replacements.

3B,

Thanks. I will check out NAPA and others. I should have asked for the inner seal number, too; but, I should be able to find that now.

Hy Hevyhauler, I'm a psychic, actually I have a master bearing interchange book, when I tried to look one of these up using the Hyatt numbers, nothing, so I used the original G.M. numbers and presto. I'm not saying that these are exactly the same, their just whats listed as interchangable.
Hy tclederman, the inner seal number I come up with is National p/n 6785, but my book only goes back to 1955

3B,

Thanks again. You have set me up very nicely. I have not yet purchased the truck - I did not know that larger trucks have roller bearings. My experience is limited to 1/2 ton 47-55 trucks, but that might change in about a month.

Tim

Hy guys, something I have noticed over the years, cabovers seem to have the heaviest duty components available, why I don't know.

3B,

You are right about these COE parts. It looks like a 1.5-2 ton COE uses the same bearings as used on the 2 ton SCB (School Bus Chassis). All other sizes from 1/2 ton to 1.5 ton use roller bearings.

Thanks again,
Tim

I hate to be so politically correct, but just for the record, there were no '47-'55 GMC 1 1/2 ton COE's. They were all 2 ton, & up. 15000lb. gvw '47-'55 Chevy 1 1/2 ton COE's, are very "Rare". Tim, have you found these wheel bearings in stock anywhere yet.

Spanky,

You are not being politically correct - you're correcting and educating, as usual. Thanks.

I will not be able to get GMC info until late Sunday (from our English-man friend), so I am guessing about GMC's from the Chevrolet Master Parts catalog information and the information provided by 3B.

The roller bearings parts are available from NAPA and can be obtain immediately or in a few days, at most. If the 350 GMC's use the roller bearings (I doubt it), I have those part numbers and those parts are also available.

Finding a military-style (or other style) tow-bar is the last piece of the puzzle in getting that COE from the west coast to NY.

I have 4 NOS Hyatt 125298W $40 ea. These are the inners.
E-mail me if interested [email protected]

F350 gmc should have three piece bearings B45 B46 BCA abour 200 per wheel

Tcleaderman,
If chevyb says he has them then they are the right ones.
He lives about 2 hours from me, I and I have bought a number of things from him.

What years do these bearings work on. I have a 49 chevy 4400. It is not a COE

No, I'm pretty sure they are not the same.
It's been more than a year sense I installed Tim's front wheel bearings, but I think they are bigger/different than your 4400 wheel bearings.
Tim's COE is a good bit bigger and heavier than even a 2 ton Chevy, and you have a 1.5 ton which I believe has even smaller/different wheel bearings than the 2 ton.

All just guesses on my part..
A parts manual will let you know for sure.

Take your old bearings to NAPA and see if they can get them.
And or call "chevyb" and see if he has them in stock, he'll have a pretty good idea what you need just from your year and model number.
