72 chevy c20 wheel bearing help
 
1 Attachment(s)
So I ordered front rotors and timken wheel bearings for my 72 c20 from rockauto. I've always preferred timken wheel bearings. When I opened the package and compared the wheel bearings to my rotors, the bearings were way too small. Rockauto told me to order timken set 3 and 5 for my front wheel bearings. I did some checking, and they also list Timken set 3 and 5 for c10s as well. So I'm assuming its incorrectly listed on rock autos website. So, what would be the correct part number for my front wheel bearings?

1/2T and 3/4T take a much different bearing. Also, if your new rotors have the cups in them (likely) you should be able to purchase just the cones (the parts with the tapered bearings) separately. I'm not a Rock Auto buyer (I have a local NAPA that serves my needs), and I'm not going to do your research. Get on the phone with them and get it straightened out! They should be able to figure it out.

Now that is solid advice! Thank you sir. I'll call them in the morning
