front wheel hub,bearings,and seal. all the books and manuals show a wheel seal for my 1941 1-1/2 ton gmc. but I have no seal. from the inner bearing I have a spacer ring fits tight to the axle about .125th thick same hight as the bearing with a bevel inside. then a tin spacer that fit the outer hub but has a gap not tight to the axle. about .040th thick and the outside edge has a small lip. than one more tin like dust cover ring fits tight to the axle and is round enough to fit over the hub with a lip. I see no seal.... please help

It should have a seal and a dust cover. If there is no seal, it could be that the last person who had the hub off couldn't find one and just assembled it without one. Do you have it dissembled. An inner bearing no. would help identify it.

Hi katrina,

You did not mention if you pulled just one wheel and hub or both. If only one, pull the other side and perhaps the parts you are looking for may be there for a positive ID-assembly?

Do you need an exploded view of the front hub? If so, please let me know your truck model identification found on the following link:

I may have a good exploded view, and part numbers of what it is that you are missing.

Hope this helps,

Dale
