47-55.1 Carrier Bearing....? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am cleaning/rebuilding the driveshafts from my 47.5 3600. I have them apart and the "carrier bearing" is pretty much crystalized. It's the (formerly...) rubber type (or okem..?). I need a replacement. Where is a good place to get one, and what are they calling it?

usually they are just called the center support bearing. napa? it's just a bearing inside a rubber donut really.

Actually - mine is just a "rubber donut" without a bearing. The two local parts houses have no clue, and can't find one online.....

The filling station shows both the bearing (it has to have a bearing) and the support cushion that you are asking about.

One reason you aren't finding it is that is not a "carrier" bearing (those go inside the rear axle) it is a center support bearing.

The bearing is inside the driveshaft....I just need the "Center Support Cushion" and the cork torque tube seal....Now that I have the correct name, it makes it easier to find. Jim Carter has it ], but on back order. Probably go wit Filling Station....

!/2 ton closed drive shaft? or 3/4 ton open drive shaft. I had it in my mind that you had a 3/4 ton.

If you have a 1/2 ton closed driveshaft you need an "oakie" bushing. that is only for closed drive trucks though. https://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb...rt~A2~cadefefx

It is a 3/4 ton....The front half is enclosed, the rear one is open. I need the rubber one you posted earlier...
