The axle stamping # is 656172GM. Can anyone ID the source of the axle? Are 3100 and sedan bearings the same? Do any of you bolters have a set of current #'s for the bearings? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 | I think most any of the repro parts suppliers have the roller bearing available although didn't see them in Jim Carters catalog. The Brothers, The Truck Shop, etc. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 | Are these roller bearing replacements available locally? Die anyone note the maker and number? Are they made by one of the national bearing companys so we could get them at either a FLAPS or bearing warehouse?
That would be nice

If so, you should be able to look up parts in this book. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | I don't think there was a Chev sedan front axle with Bendix brakes. They had indepensent suspension long before the 50s. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 55 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 55 | I Think I have a truck axle after all, Myt axle does not look like the sedan photo supplied by Tim, and goes along with Truckernix's and thw independent suspension theory. I did come up with an application that used Chicago Rawhide's #'s of B52 for the inner and B01 for the outer, now I'll see if I can't interchange to an SKF or National number. Thanks for the assist! | | |
