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

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.
Why are you considering changing bearings? Ball bearings can provide very acceptable service life if used appropriately and maintained properly. Replacement ball sets are available if needed. There is much better understanding of how to build and spec grease than in the '50s as well so it should be possible to pick a high quality, long lasting lubricant.
