It was the first time I have ever seen anything other than the ball bearing type. Has anyone else seen this too? Anyone used them? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 237 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 237 | What year?

It's the first I've seen them for the 3/4 and 1 ton. They are extremely pricey, but what do you expect for a 60 year old truck? It would be nice if they were a good brand like Timken, but I'm sure they're Asian made. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 346 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 346 | I have 2 sets of these waiting for installation on a couple of projects. The are made in Japan by a company that appears to make a lot obsolete bearings. MBS bearing - Japan

Based on my experience buying an 18" caliper a couple of years ago, the stuff made in Japan is just as expensive as the stuff made here. I took that as a sign of pretty much equal quality.
