Front Bearing Kit 1954 1 ton truck

[Eric R. Layton]

I am looking for front bearings for my 1954 1 ton pick up truck. This truck has a 8 lug wheel

I ordered a tapered bearing kit and the parts where all too small.

Original bearing numbers were 909725 (outer) and 909726 (inner). Any FLAPS should be able to cross them. RockAuto says National B44 is a replacement for 909726 and B45 is a replacement for 909725.

Thanks Bill!

I am getting a little dismayed at the lack of response on this forum. Is anyone still alive and kicking?? The diagrams in the Assembly Manual are very vague and conflicting. There MUST be some solution to the transmission locking up into 2nd gear?? I can't help but think the pivot on the bell housing is the key and how the (crank) pivot is mounted as a starting position when the shifting rods are connected. I am going to repost this on some of the more recent posts just to get a reply,
