Im new here and i say very nice to meet jou
my question is i have 1958 apache 3200 and the old front wheel bearings are worn out and i have to replace them , with tapered bearings i can not buy in the states too expensive and risky for me .[sending and taxes ]
Is there anyone that can mail me the numbers that are on the bearings so i can order them here ?
Those in the truck now are from bca ;b-01 and b-52 .
Measering is also not a option for me here we have the metric system .
And i am just plain stupid i do not understand the inch system .
well i hope that anybody can help .
Thanks anyway

Do you have a reason why you want to change from the original design bearings? Thousands of vehicles have used ball bearings throughout the vehicles lifespan. Any good bearing supply house can convert from metric dimensions to imperial, or decimal equivalents, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 208 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 208 | Try this link to Rockauto.com they list all the part numbers.

I just converted my 58 3200 about 2 weeks ago - just got it back on the road yesterday. It is super easy to do. Only took a few minutes each side. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 289 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 289 | Farmer,
There are about a dozen part numbers listed there and no pics. Please tell us which ones are roller bearing replacements for B01 & B52, thanks!! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 208 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 208 | good point - I'm not sure - when I pulled up my order it was for brakes! - A couple of google searches & I'm sure you can find the parts you need. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 208 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 208 | I googled roller bearing conversions New Zealand & found this site. http://www.bushbearing.com/They claim to specialize in these types of bearings. Also - as far as a direct part number replacement I don't know - what I found was a 'conversion kit'. American Classic Trucks sells that under part number BR2600-1947 | | |
