Does anyone know what the difference would be between a 1 ton panel and a pickup?
I'm also posting this in tons of fun. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 |
1951 1-tom Panel?
The carrier bearing would certainly not be for a 1951 Suburban - 1/2 ton Suburbans did not need/use a carrier bearing.

Thanks anyway. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,963 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,963 | Make sure you see a picture of what you are ordering. A carrier bearing is inside the rear end. What you are looking for is a center bearing and it is a very common part. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 320 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 320 | Make sure you see a picture of what you are ordering. A carrier bearing is inside the rear end. What you are looking for is a center bearing and it is a very common part. They are listed as a carrier bearing when you look them up. They are sometimes also referred to as a sling bearing. At any rate, they are common, but I can't find a listing for one for a 3800 panel. Any help would be appreciated. Meanwhile I am going to pick up my old one from the driveshaft shop and take it and my calipers to a local truck parts supplier and see if I can find a match or something that will work. Thanks
