Front wheel bearings
I can't find where front wheel bearings have been discussed anywhere on this whole forum.
I thought the "Wheels, tires..." thread would have something, but can't find it. I have finished rebuilding my front brake cylinders, one by cannibalizing a whole new one ($42) and one with a kit which was supposedly not available ($5). Both work well. The right side bearings are in good shape, but the left ones have a little grumble. These are ball bearings on a 1960 1500 2wd Just starting trying to find them yesterday turns up some availability issues. I think there may be outer bearings around. Anyone been this route? Any ideas welcomed.

Re: Front wheel bearings
That's the ONE thing I didn't replace on my '60 1500 GMC.
I looked through the suppliers I've used and found the below parts. Some look like a swap from the ball to roller bearings. Not sure if it is just maybe a wrong photo or if they started doing that at some point. Anyway, I was hit/miss with parts that were 'supposed' to fit.

Re: Front wheel bearings
I replaced mine on my 4wd a bit ago and listed all the parts. I don't know how many will interchange but you can have a peek. I think I get started about here on page 30, then run through about 35.
