Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 front bearings (ball to roller?)

Hello all, so as the screen name implies I work for SKF and I assumed that I would be able to find something that others couldn't because of our systems here but my assumption was wrong. I checked our various production sites and warehouses just to confirm what others have said, we don't make these bearings anymore. Not only that we don't make anything close to the bore size for the one bearing so I was up that creek without a paddle on those efforts.

I think moving forward I'll still consider a TRB solution but I'm not in a rush to make the change as our truck is very stable at speed and the bearings looked to be in good condition during inspection.

Whitedog and coupeguy I'm with Tmoble I'm not sure I understand why you would have fitment issues that require shims or bushings but then again I might not understand what you typed and the mistake is all mine.

Either way thanks to all that replied.
